erratic running

[scirocco_88_16v@hotmail.com (Brian Wagner)]

Go here http://www.geocities.com/scirocco_88_16v/vrtech this is my one and
only Tech Tip

Test voltage at the battery first with the car running and all electrical
accessories on you should se a voltage no lower than 13.3V. If it drops
below that the battery is not charging. If it drops to say 12.6 and holds
the regulator has gone bad, and if it continues dropping the longer it runs
then you need to rplace the alternator becasue the windings are breaking
down.

Also clean all your grounding point and add some more.
