I actually think my problem is the alternator belt… ever since I swapped motors the belt has been slightly loose and the volts would bog down every so often. I’ve got to crawl under some day and tighten up the tensioner ---

Our pathetic stock battery is showing its true colors in this weather… When i kick the key over, i get an ABS Fault that flashes on the Driver Information Center, then the motor comes to life… thankfully… i am sure it is only a matter of time before that ABS Fault stays up and the motor does not start. Guess its time for an Optima ---
