Go figure this one - 91 Wolfie - Driving along 5 am lights on, heater
on.
First thirty mile same good running van. Then starts to loose power.
Barely make it easy hills floored ! Shut off heater. Power resumes. Temp


gauge OK. No idiot lights on. Drive another 30 miles, pull into station,


turn off ignition. No smell, no nothing. Try to restart - dead battery
(new 8 mo ago). Recharge battery starts up OK, runs fine. Now in my
driveway awaiting diagnosis. WHat minimum voltage does ignition require.


Why no alternator light if not charging , grounds.? It starts hard on
cold morning, sometimes no start. .
Alternator new with battery in July 99


Thanks
91 Wolfie
