Gents,
My CCV truck is nearly complete but I have an issue where the engine dies when idling with the alternator connected.
If I disconnect the +12V excitation wire from the alternator it's fine, soon as I re-connect the wire the engine dies as though the power it takes to drive the alternator is too much for it.
It's not an issue if I apply my right foot to the loud pedal, engine runs fine and the alternator is putting out 13.5V.
The engine, auto box and ignition components are all from a '90 RRC 3.9.
The only thing I don't have connected on the wiring side is the park / neutral switch into the ECU, could that be the issue?
If not any ideas?
Thanks,
Mick.
