car turns off

hmotes · May 14th, 2007, 01:15 PM

ok here's the deal. My car runs and idles good until i start using the a/c or the electric fan kicks on. I have a 130 amp alt. Only when using these during stopping my car starts to idle rough then dies on me ( it'll restart) but it really gets to me. Any idea or help on what the issue might be?

What is the idle on the car set at? How good is your battery and did you do a cell test on it? Have you had the alternator tested? Just because it is a 130 amp doesn't mean that is what it is pushing.

What if you turn the heat on high? or does it just do it with the a/c?
A 130 amp alt doesnt push 130amps at idle, could be a number of things. start with the basics that wont cose you anything, check connections on battery, frame, engine block. check voltage with a/c off and then check voltage with a/c on

alright the electrical part is good. like i said before it only happens as i'm coming to a stop. Then i turn it right back on and it idles good. The only problem is when i coming to a stop with all the accessories on. while i am stopped with all the accessories on it idles good.

So when your STOPPING while your accessories are on is when it happens........ Doesn't sound electrical..... You might be looking at some work but it's not very easy to tell without looking at it.

I would honestly take it to a shop that you can trust.

isnt there a sensor in the back of the trans that has something to do with keeping the car running when you are coming to a stop? I know i had to splice into it when i did my mass air conversion. Just cant remember what they call it

Well it doesn't shut down all the time it boggs down (rpms drop), sometimes it'll bogg down then shut down. I checked my TPS and it's set to .95. Do ya'll think it could be a sensor or something in that nature? Any help would be appreciated.
