noticed, though, that this hunt ALWAYS happens when driving in traffic with
the headlights on: thus it mostly happens at night or on rainy or snowy days.
It SOMETIMES happens under other conditions, but I haven’t logged enough of
them to report back anything of interest. <BR><BR>I have a little cigarette
lighter voltage meter and I’ve plugged it in during this hunt but haven’t seen
any voltage numbers I haven’t seen before. With the headlights on in traffic,
the voltage can drop as low as 11.5 but it comes back up to about 13.8 or more
once I get back on the gas which has long been the case.<BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE>

face=Arial>This definitely sounds like low voltage, especially at idle (11.5V)
and will cause running issues on it's own.</FONT></DIV>

face=Arial>Dan, do you drive a lot of city streets? Meaning low engine speeds.
If so, you might want to look into getting an alternator for your car. I only
say that as the generator doesn't start making electricity until you get to
about 1500 rpms. And if you're doing a lot of "idling" or low engine speed
driving, you're then waiting until the rpms to come up for the system to "catch
up". The combination of the headlights on, and the wipers on could be drawing
just enough extra, that the system is having a hard time keeping up. This is
especially true at low engine speeds.<BR>
