stuck Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 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.

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Do you have the road speed transducer connected ? Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuck Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Hi Nige, Good point, no I don't. If that's the issue can I bypass in some way? Cheers, Mick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
