Ok,
Jeeps been fine for a while now, I know how could that be. Anyways yesterday driving to work CEL was on, said ok I'll get it scanned after work. Stop for a bagel, get in car starts fine but wants to die.
Unless I'm giving it gas and keeping the revs up the car tries to die. As soon as the heat comes on or lights the volts on the in car meter drop. So I was pretty sure it was a good battery as the car started every time. Well I limped it to Advanced Auto today where the Battery, Starter, and Alternator all passed the test.
But then I came across a thread where, it was said that 91+ alternators will pass the test when they are actually bad.
Anyways 2000 Jeep Cherokee 120k
Terminals look clean also.
Any ideas?
