Alternator pulley? Yes or No I had it on my car prior to h/c & programming. With a h/c car and custom tuning, do the problems with the low charge and the car dying begin to go away, or do they get worse? Thinking about putting mine back on if the bad things about it aren't so bad anymore.
Thanks,

The car never actually stalled, but it would drop down low enough that it wouldn't crank when I got back in and tried to start it. I would also NEVER leave the car to idle for more than 2 minutes because of how low the voltage would get, so it is completely possible that it might have died on its own. I'm just woundering if it might be any different w/ a tuning program. Since I have h/c now, it might also be different. (either to the good or the bad... ?)
