What would cause the electrical power to fade in and out while driving?
the voltage regulator
Would a faulty alternator cause the electrical system to pulsate on a 1996 Honda civic lx?
The voltage regulator in the alternator can cause issues like this when they start to go bad. The voltage regulator is an integrated part of the alternator and cannot be replaced, if it is bad, the entire alternator must be replaced.
Can a voltage regulator cause starting problems?
yes
Why is the voltage regulator overcharging the battery in a 1990 Ford econoline?
A bad voltage regulator can cause an overcharging condition. Check the wires going to the regulator for corrosion and make sure the regulator has a good ground.
What would cause the battery to overcharge?
Defective voltage regulator.
Can the voltage regulator stop the motor from firing on a 1990 dodge 250 van?
No, the voltage regulator determines the alternators output voltage. That's all it does. If the regulator fails the battery level can drop to the point that there will not be sufficient charge to start the engine, but the regulator will not directly cause the engine to not run.
What regulates the voltage to the battery on a 2001 1.6 focus and what would cause it to cook at 17v?
Bad voltage regulator
Can a voltage regulator cause a car to not start?

What is a Filko voltage regulator type VRD-444HD for?
A voltage regulator is just as it says. It regulates the voltage that the alternator in your vehicle puts out. Too much voltage and you'll overamp your wiring, and too little can cause parts not to function properly.

What would cause a pulsing sensation in a 2003 Saturn L300?
That depends on when the problem occurs. If it's only when you press on the brakes, you have a warped brake rotor which is common on any disk brake system. If it's an acceleration pulsing, you could have a fuel problem caused by either a worn fuel pump or a partially plugged fuel filter. If you're talking about lights pulsing, it's probably an annoying voltage regulator, but generally not worth repairing if it works well otherwise.
