I ran the car again last light. Using a volt meter across the battery I get a
reading as high as 13.78. This is not the 13.9 - 14.9 the regulator is suppose
to be regulating at. Perhaps this is why the IGN light stays on?
Oh ya, I did something by mistake last night. WHile attaching the voltmeter
to the Battery the '+' cable came off. The Car continued to run. After a few
quick swares I reattached the cable. The voltage continued to raise at the
Battery. What do you think?
Later,
JHD IV
