A week after ASP installl
::::::HELLLLP::::::::::A week after ASP installl About a week ago got my crank pulley installed and it was running sick. Now when iv went to start it the past few days, i just get click click click, put on the jumper and it jumps right up. When im driving its never died, never surges it drives normal. But it wont start????
When im idling in traffic it dips below the 13 mark on the voltage meter, but while driving it sits on 13 (the middle) and sometimes higher.
What do i do? Underdrive/Overdrive alt pulley? Better battery (ac delco stocker)??
Im puzzled??

Most likely a bad battery or connection at the battery since you can jump start it and it stays running. As far as the volt gauge it is normal to go below 13 volts with the underdrive pulley and i have never had a starting problem because of this.

Starting problems suck. I've had a problem with mine since october of last year and I STILL don't know what's wrong. My alternator needed replacing, I got that fixed at least. I also got a new battery. It works better now but I still have problems sometimes.

So what should I do? Get one of the alt pullies? Upgraded Battery?

Where would the bad connection be?

Get your alternator checked at advance or autozone or oreily's etc. Make sure it's charging ok. There are several sensors that can cause problems starting. I think the Cam Position Sensor and some sort of oil sensor or crank position sensor can cause problems too. So many freaking sensors, it can make you want to cry at times.

did you get the right size belt? If the belt isnt seated well on the alternator pulley and is slipping a bit will cause a week charge (thus your volt meter being low) and wont charge the battery enough for restarts. Had it happen to a friends car.

Two gates belts on my car right now. I have just the Crank pulley. Part numbers the paper in the box said to use.
my moms 02 v6 did the same thing turned out to be a battery. was the SAME exact problem that you are having, another symptom that she had that set me off was the fact that while driving her factory sound system had horrible engine whine. see if yours does, turn the volume down and see if you can hear your engine rev in the speakers.
Either way that was my experience, changed the battery and all is well since.

Thanks ill do that, this is making me mad, now my dads gonna start bitching at me cus hes gonna say the crank pulley is ******* up the car.
For the money I like the Die Hard Gold 72 MONTH WARR. But if your in school i know your buget may be limited (mine sure was).If money isn't a problem(tax return, found a wallet at the car wash etc...) I'd go with the Optima red top JMHO; FWIW.

What did the dealer say? A couple years ago I had the same problem. It wasn't after any mods though. I carried a portable jumper around with me because it would die if I didn't start it on a daily basis. Then it got to the point that it would die after sitting overnight. When it was at the dealer they told me that it was because my SLP fan switch was bad and was draining the battery. They disconnected it, charged the battery and told me that it would be fine. A week later the battery started going dead on me again. I took it to autozone and they said the battery was shot. In fact it wouldn't even start in the autozone lot. I bought a nice new battery and it has started perfectly every time since then. This was over a year ago, and I reconnected the fan switch when I put the new battery in. In short: DO NOT EVER TRUST A DEALER. Taht is, unless you have good reason to. I refuse to ever go to a dealer again. They screwed up three times already.
