blinker problem after converter swap ever since my converter swap, my blinker sometimes stops working. yes I am for real on this one. my car seems to idle just a tad bit lower in gear while at stoplights and if I've sat there for a second my blinker will stop. If i give the car a little bit of gas the blinker will start working again. Anyone else experienced this or have any ideas? This isnt the OEM blinker, I had to replace it a couple years ago with an autoparts store brand.

That's a hoot. Does the car want to die at the stop light with the headlights on along with the A/C on high?

Sounds like the lower idle is slowing the engine speed to where the alternator isn't doing much. When you give it gas alternator kicks in and viola. Up the idle like already mentioned or put a overdrive alternator pulley from asp.

resetting the computer? ive already done that. Ill try the idle set screw, it's idleing at 500-550 rpm's in gear and I think that 600-700 may cure it. if i just tap the gas at a stoplight she will start blinking again. anyone got any stewed vegetables i can use for my flux? ok I gotta go poop now
