If your 88 CRX SI alternator belt is making a strange intermittent noise shortly after changing the alternator what's wrong, the belt tension could be off. Adjust the belt slightly.

Where is the voltage regulation system on vauxhall tigra?
Since shortly after the invention of the Alternator, most vehicle manufacturers have implemented a regulator INSIDE the alternator. Solid state regulators are small and relatively inexpensive and it's generally recommended that if the alternator fails, just replace brushes, bearings, regulator and diodes... which is pretty much what you get with a QUALITY rebuilt alternator.
Why did the battery die while driving ford windstar?
The alternator died first and drained your battery shortly thereafter.
How much does an alternator tester cost?
~ $1,000 on ebay, but many parts stores will test them for free. The easy way to tell if your alternator is bad is to drive the car. If it stalls while driving, the alternator is definitely at fault. If you have to charge the battery to start it, but it drives fine and will re-start shortly after stopping, then it's likely the battery.
Why on a 2001 Honda Civic will the battery indicator light come on when the engine is at less than 1500 rpm and go off when the engine revs to 3000 rpm and stay off until the rpm's go below 2000 rpm?
Mine did the same thing and shortly after my alternator had gone.
What is an alternater?
Early automobiles had a "generator" to keep the battery charged. In the generator a magnetic field was established and the armature spun inside the field, creating the electrical current. Carbon brushes made contact with the armature and the electrical energy was transferred to the battery and other electrical devices. The generator produced "Direct Current" and was controlled by a set of relays called a "voltage regulator". Shortly after the wide acceptance of the transistor and other solid state devices Detroit came up with the idea of using an alternator. In the alternator, the armature becomes the magnetic field and spins inside a set of coils. Alternating current is created as the magnets pass the coils, then the alternating current is converted to direct current through an elaborate arrangement of diodes on a "diode plate" An alternator has many advantages, it's much more efficient, takes up less space, is capable of producing 110 volts (if you know how to wire it up you can plug things in) and it produces significant electrical current even at lower engine speeds. The alternator too is controlled by a voltage regulator to keep it from producing excessive voltage and current, but modern voltage regulators are solid state and typically inside the alternator.
Why would your car die shortly after giving someone else a jump start?
There is a possibility that you burned up a diode plate in your alternator and the battery cannot get re-charged. Check the battery, if it's low you might want to somehow get the vehicle to an auto parts retailer where they can test the electrical system and let you know what's wrong.
Can an alternator blow if jump starting another car?
SHORT ANSWER: Normally speaking, with a typical jumpstart, it SHOULD NOT damage an alternator. LONG ANSWER (not a typical jumpstart): The only ways I even remotely see jumpstarting a vehicle damaging one's alternator are: 1. If the alternator is already severely or, in rare circumstances, slightly damaged. 2. The amperage required by the other vehicle's starter severely exceeds the maximum output amperage of the alternator AND the maximum (cold [?*]) cranking amperage of the battery together. Usually, in most typical jumpstarting cases, the battery in your vehicle will supply any excess amperage required above the altornator's output. 3. If one's vehicle is MUCH smaller than the vehicle it is jumpstarting and one's vehicle does not have a battery with a maximum (cold [?*]) cranking amperage required to start a MUCH larger vehicle --- typically a larger vehicle means a larger motor and therefore a larger starter which will require a (significantly) higher amperage to turn the motor over with the (minimum) troche and speed required to start the vehicle's motor. (Such as in my story below.) (possibly) 4. If the battery in one's vehicle is extremely low in power --- such as a vehicle that was recently jumpstarted and did not have enough running/charging time pass to get a good charge on the battery before attempting to jumpstart another vehicle --- and cannot produce the amperage required by the other vehicle's starter, the alternator may/will be forced to supply almost all the amperage required by the other vehicle's starter; which can easily exceed the maximum output of one's alternator depending on the maximum amperage rating of one's alternator (with a possible output range of a factory alternator of being anywhere from 50 to 150 amps for a typical car or small truck and 125 to 350+ amps for a truck) and the amperage required by the other vehicle's starter. REFERENCE: self-experience with many bad alternators (Seven in two and a half years to be exact!) and jumpstarting in my first car ('95 Honda Civic LX) MY STORY: Only once did my alternator die shortly after jumpstarting a vehicle, a big heavy duty, I cannot even remember the manufacturer anymore, v8 truck (I did not even think to turn off the sound system, but I did turn it down, which was still pulling nearly 20 amps by itself, but thats out of the almost 180 amps it pulled turned up as loud as it would go before the sound started to get distorted) his started required (guessing) around 650 amps (cold start on 40 degrees F night) my alternator rated at 85 amps and my battery being 5 years old and only ratted at 350 amps and 425 max cranking amps. Needless to say that this also melted the insulation of the 2 gage jumper cable I used. (I should have known better than to do that, but I wasn't thinking about it at the time.) Shortly after the cables started smoking I gave up and less than 10 miles down the road my batter light came on, by the time I got home the battery itself was down to 7.14 volts from running the headlights and windshield wipers for the next 25 miles (30-35 minutes.) After all was said and done I've replaced the alternator and decided to go ahead and replace the battery, just incase it was also damaged. Since then I don't think I ever went more than 7 months without the alternator failing, thankfully Autozone has a 1 year warranty on the alternator and battery so I never had to pay for the part again, all the alternators for the Honda were unfortunately "refurbished" which is probably why they kept failing, the third alternator ruined my battery by pulling 11.5 amps to ground when the motor was off (but when the car was running, it could charge the hell out of the battery.) The forth alternator was producing a crazy 37+ volts when the motor was running. Thankfully; after the second alternator, I put a voltmeter in the 12v auxiliary plug (cigarette lighter); because, that high of voltage could have easily ruined a lot of things like the battery, computer, radio, amplifiers, and many many more items if left unnoticed. All the other alternators just died on me without a (noticed) reason.
What is wrong with your car when the connectors to the battery are constantly having to be tightened and if they are why is the car still not starting?
Your battery cables probably became loose shortly after each tightening, which made it difficult for the battery to recharge. Your car will run without the battery once you start it, but the lights and radio, and other electricly dependent utilities take all the power it has. Withoutout the charging system recharging the battery it has been left with little or no charge. the battery cable connectors have probably streched and don't fit properly so there isn't a permanent connection to allow the alternator to charge the battery properly during it use and your car not starting could be down to the fact of your battery being nackered due to the lack of charge from the alternator.
What is true of the Equal Rights Amendment?
Many things were true about that amendment. Here are some of them:Conservatives linked it with changing social norms such as the sexual revolution.Many women feared that it would allow them to be drafted or used in other negative ways.
Can a person with malaria control it by changing some of his or her daily habits?
That is not possible. It may take up to six months to develop the immunity. Falciparum malaria will kill you very shortly. You have to take treatment for malaria.
What rhymes with shortly?
courtly portly shortly tautly
What is the meaning of 'you will be intimated shortly'?
That means ' You will be informed shortly'
