OK guys, I have everything fixed (mechanically) and have my wideband done. However my battery light is still on (replaced the alternator with a Ford Reman).
I took it to an auto shop and had them test the charging system. It is fine. I double checked, hooked my multimeter up and was getting 14.3 at idle, and 13.8 at idle with lights, wipers, radio and AC all on full.
I took it for a drive and drove the hell out of it, did 4 pulls, saw the wideband drop to around 11.4-11.6 at WOT and than back up to 14.7-15.2 normal driving. Are these good readings?
When I got home, I went ahead and put the conv top up. The motor is pretty much dead and it barely moves and struggles, so it takes forever, so this may be my culprit, BUT, when it finally got up I checked the voltage with the multimeter again and it was at 12.8 at idle. I turned the car off for about 20 minutes, started it up, 14.3 again.
I will be datalogging Friday to make sure temps look good all around, and FPDC is not pegged.
Any other suggestions?
Mods are in my signature.
Here is what all I have done recently though:
New TOB, new TOB Retainer, LFP Intercooler Reservior (AMAZING DIFFERENCE IN IAT2!!), alternator, plugs (TR6 .032), oil, and tranny fluid.
I will also be taking the passenger wheel off and looking at that wheel well, it is all funky looking, doesnt interfere with driving, but I need it to be perfect.
So my main concerns are, how do my AFR's look, and what do you think is going on with that battery light?
