RE: Voltage dips at idle.
Last night I let my car idle for awhile with all the lights on, AC going and radio playing( I have no aftermarket radio). It has a set of under drive pullies and they bypassed the idler pullie. Well I guess after awhile It started to run off the battery+alternator and eventually everyhting started to dim and kicked on and off. But everything worked perfect when I idled her up to about 1500 plus.
the pulley I'm talking about is like 25 bux
