Low, Low Voltage, barely making spark???
Low, Low Voltage, barely making spark??? Hey guys I just put a new engine in my 98 Z28 along with my STS kit. When I start the car and for a few minutes after the voltage is around 15.
But after that the voltage drops way below 13 and gets into the red especially at idle. I have a brand new redtop Optima and a brand new alternator which nave both been checked and re-checked again to make sure they're good. If I don't keep the rpm's goin I start losing spark and then missfiring. Before the new motor I had the sts kit for a few months and never had any problems, but now I do. I have checked ALLL the grounds and negative wires to the block, heads and frame and they're all good. Anyone out there have any ideas? Anything will help, it sux havin a new forged 370 you can't drive. Thanks (and if there's a better forum to take this, tell me)
