What is your voltage at idle

 

[ozzy smith]

14.3-14.4

 

[ozzy smith]

but the car sounds like its not right at idle kind of like if its cam but its not

Are your plugs and wires good? Do you have them routed/installed in the proper firing order?

 

[ozzy smith]

Never touch them thishappen from one day to another.

Does the battery light only come on when you are driving the car or under acceleration or when you first pull away from a stop. I am wondering if your engine is moving enough that you are getting a short causing the battery light to come on. Is the battery secured and the cables tight. Did you check all your grounds to be sure they are clean and tight.

On one of my cars, I was working near the battery cables and the cable got pretty close to the accessory belt that it made contact with the battery cable when I accelerated causing a stumble and battery light. Are your motor mounts good, engine not moving at all?

 

[ozzy smith]

Light turns on a soon as the car on . On idle and acceleration grounds look good back of the intake was nice and tight so was the battery .I am clueless like I said it happen to one day to another.

 

[ozzy smith]

By any chance can it be that my thermostat housing leak all over the bottom their is some wires down their?

 

[ozzy smith]

Hey you know what my mother mounts are bad! Now that I remember I had down shifted to second one time and I felt the engine move hard

 

[zoomlater]

Can you see a discolored area on your front part of the intake from the hood blanket

 

[ozzy smith]

No . But if the motor touches the hood what happens electrical wise

 

[luigisho]

It can stretch the wiring and cause breaks/short somewhere or put alot of pressure on the DIS module at the wiring plug connections on the sides of the unit.

 

[ozzy smith]

But would the dis module give you a code?

 

[luigisho]

Not always. Do you see cracks in the module? If there isn't alot of movement then it's not likely damaged. Some people have been able to run their cars with visible damage but I have not had that experience and had to replace mine. Your's is odd as it began with a knock sensor fault code

 

[ozzy smith]

Yeah I find it weird it has no trouble starting what so ever. I know my sister 91 had a bad computer. Is their any way?

 

[zoomlater]

Try this test to see if your motor mount is bad or not

[ozzy smith]

It is and the intake does have some discoloration. So what does this mean other then a bad motor mount?

 

[kurtolson85]

Do me a favor find some sort of like a rubber mat slim enoph to fit between the hood and your battery put it on top of your battery close the hood give that a try
