Hi Guys.
Some words of inspiration please.
I have the above vehicle which starts & runs fine, but when driving it will lose voltage down to 11V (voltmeter connected to jump start connections under bonnet).
When this happens the car loses power, but does not cut out just comes down to idle, if you try to rev it coughs & spits leave on idle for a while & the voltage comes back up to 14V & you can drive again.
I have replaced alternator, cleaned all connections, battery is quite new.
Throws up a fault with alternator also Crank & Exhaust Cam sensor.
Also when voltage drops & you try to throttle the battery light flashes but goes out if you let it idle.
Cam timing has been checked OK.
If you drive steady it does not seem to happen.
Any words of wisdom appreciated its doing my head in.
Regards
