My02ta

i didn't know where else to post this, so here goes. When my car idols, my lights flicker a lot. it doesn't matter if the car is warmed up or not. I don't know much about electrical systems so if someone can suggest something it'd be greatly appreciated.

I assume it is your 02 ta you're talking about. How many miles you got? You may need to clean your maf. I just did mine today and it made it idle smoother

what does your voltmeter gauge read while its idling
if its reading low (not 13-14 volts) then you could possibly have a bad alternator

ya i have an 2002 TA with 54k on it. i cleaned my maf a few months back so i guess i could try it again. i dont know what it reads off the top of my head.

My02ta

it's actually reading a little higher than the normal 13-14 volts

Do you have any ignition mods. i know I'm an LT1, but my car's lights flicker as I idle due to my delteq coils.

My02ta

to the best of my knowledge no. the guy who owned it before me might have put something on, but again i dont think so.

At idle, take off the negative terminal. If the car dies, you have a bad alternator.

Check Your alternator, and your battery terminals they could be dirty and causing a bad contact. Make sure if you clean them you can use Normal baking soda and water. Also check the water level on your Battery if its not a sealed Battery.

lol nice one, I always poared coke on my terminals to clean them off if they were dirty and I had this issue before and it turned out to be a loose positive cable on the battery.
