in the ongoing effort to solve more problems on my jetta, i noticed last night that the alternator bracket will throw sparks when on the throttle. i suspect this could have something to do with my car losing power periodically and running like shit/stalling out. last night myself and my house mate were messing around on the car and when we pulled on the throttle cable, a few sparks would fly off the alternator bracket. is this some kind of static discharge? i’ve never seen anything nor heard of anything like this at all.
i know you guys are going to be shocked about a VW with electrical problems, i realize it’s almost unheard of, but this is a true story.
