couple of questions
ok i have 90 integ and the battery light is coming on and going off i assume there is a problem with the battery or the alternator but i have never heard of the light going off and on i mean at one point the light was on and my dash dimmed and my wipers were moving slow, i thought for sure it was gonna go out on me but then all of a sudden everything lightes back up and its fine....?
#2 i am looking at a 97 eclipse gst i heard some bad things about the trannies but i have never owned one or anything and i am interested to know if i get it will i be buying a new tranny a few months down the road?

Re: couple of questions
Integra: Measure the voltage on the battery both when the car is running (~14v) and when the car is not running (~12v). Check the battery cables, alternator cables, and engine grounds.
... you don't by any chance have amps/subs pulling a good amount of power do you?

Re: couple of questions
Ah my car does that stupid ass "I decide, I want to pop the battery light on" when I get up on it like after 10 seconds of speeding it will pop up. I'm pretty sure it's my ground, at least I hope it is!

Re: couple of questions
happens with my car as well. previous owner informed me it was a bad diode. its dim when the headlights are on, and lights up when brake lights go on. haven't had the chance to replace.

Re: couple of questions
i had a celica that did that and within a few months, the alternator went out. drove it down to the beach and it was fine but as soon as i got back, damn thing just went out. could be sticking and only working when it wants to. i would bet the alternator.
