Greg; Do you access to a volt meter? The first thing I would do is check/clean all associated electrical connections. With engine off disconnect the battery ground clamp. Inspect the following: 1>Alternator/battery connection at starter. 2>Ground straps at transmission and engine. 3>connections at alternator. 4>All battery connections. With winter coming some PMs in this area would not hurt anyway. I picked up a regulator assy at a local alternator repair shop (Fleet Supply) for around $12. For that price you can replace yours and keep it for a spare if not bad . I am not sure what affect this has on your poor engine performance but I will ponder it. Good Luck Ken Lewis kdlewis@juno.com 86 VW crewcab 85 VW Vanagon GL 60 356 coupe Kernersville,NC On Fri, 8 Nov 1996 13:18:04 -0600 "Gregory Mitch Daughtry" <gmdaugh@eos.ncsu.edu> writes: >Hello all, > >I have a problem with my charging system, I think.
