98 SVT. Im pretty sure that i have a alternator problem, but i need a second opinon. I was driving home (about 35 mph) and suddenly the the tach said 0 rpm, the e-brake and ABS light came on. The engine stayed on for another 30 seconds, then died. The alternator light never came on. Tryed to crank but only got Click..click.click. About 5min later, power was back and i was able to start the car. Only to have it do the same thing when i was pulling up into my garage.
When i finally got my car into my garage i was able to test the battery/alternator. After i got the battery charged i checked the voltage, 12.6v at the battery (A brand new die hard gold). Started the car and checked voltage again. The voltage started at 12.4 and dropped all the way to 9v, and thats when the car died.
But why would i have power after waiting 5min later without the charger? The battery climbed back up to 12.2v after the car died. Good old DIE hard batterys. But that is a alternator problem right? I dont want to waste $170
