[QUOTE="vipergts281, post: 15074668, member: 10912"] [B]UPDATE[/B] Installed a new alternator. Drove 40 miles since installing it and the battery light never came on. So that was the culprit on that. But, I've started the car about 6 times since installing the new alt. The first time it fired right up. The second time there was a slight delay, slight as in like half a second. The third time it wouldn't start for a bit. After about 6 tries it finally fired up, slowly. After that I started it about 3 more times, each time it fired right up normally. So I don't know what the hell is going on with that (clutch switch, bad relay?). Curious to see if it will continue to act up. Also, my ABS light that has been on for months, went off after installing the new alternator. But, after about 15 minutes of driving it popped back on and stayed on. Weird. [B] UPDATE on the update[/B] - I've driven hundreds of miles now, all is good with the alternator. Starting Issue - Didn't happen at all today. But since the last post update, it seems to not be happening as much. Still need to look into it and see what the culprit is. It really is just a random issue, no pattern to it. [/QUOTE]
