  1. I had this issue. 10$ says its the voltage regulator in the alternator. maybe the refurb unit was bad is the car going into a limp mode?
  2. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR6.TRC1.A0.H0.X295+30+18.TRS0&_nkw=295+30+18&_sacat=0
  3. Any other thoughts? Ideas? Found my battery was completely dead yesterday. It was brand new. Looks like it was burned up
  4. Could a bad voltage regulator cause the car to go into limp mode and make no boost?
  5. Can I just take the alternator to a auto zone? Same thing?
  6. Batteries should get warm, but not hot, which is usually a sign of trouble. I would load test the battery and the charging system as spurious MIL lights are often voltage related. What's the best way to do that
  7. So, car has never skipped a beat. Removed the cardan shaft only to go dyno. Drove fine for 30min. Then every light possible came on. First was battery discharge light, then brake distribution, then all the abs, psm. Car went in limp mode. Brought it home and read the codes. Was just o2 sensors and cats. Erased everything. Went to start the car again and it won't start, just cranks and smells very strong of gas. Just tried to read codes again, none found. Hooked the shaft back up. Car started and idled fine. Drove it 30 feet and brake distribution came back on. Voltage metered pegged. Battery seems hot to the touch. Soon as I slow down all the lights go back off. Car won't make any boost. Lost......
  8. I have the same issue , but just abs and psm. Pretty sure it's due to a boost leak or something. I get an occasional maf code, but I've just lived with it for the past 2 years.
