SO I HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY TODAY AND WHEN I DID MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND ALL MY GAUGES AND LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. THE ENGINE STARTED TO HOLD AN IDLE OF 2000 RPMS. I GOT IT HOME AND NOW WHEN I TRY TO START IT JUST CLICKS. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR CODES ON MY READER

P.S. I HAD MY S-BELT REPLACED YESTERDAY AT FIRSTONE AND THEY SAID THEY WONT BE ABLE TO DO MUCH LOOKING INTO IT BECAUSE OF THE MOD'S TO THE CAR.

ANY IDEAS WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE??

 

The drive belt/power steering belt may have dislodged from a pulley. If the belt is still intact check for tension. Another possibility could be the power wire going to the alternator is loose, though i seriously doubt it. Those monkeys at Firestone

 

the tension is still good and connections are fine. i jumped it and as soon as i took off the cables the battery voltage dropped down to 7.4 on my turbo timer gauge.

 

Possible voltage drop somewhere. Do you have a relocated battery by chance? You might also have a charging system issue. Its possible your alternator is going out. Its gonna be hard to diagnose over the internet. Are you mechanically inclined enough to use a multi meter?

 

yes im just confused where to start, im guessing alternator having it checked tomorrow but when running voltage doesnt go over 9 or 10 volts when normally its about 14
