Battery lite comes on sometimes. replaced battery for 2x this year and had altinator checked on and off vehicle. it tested bad on and good 5x off (at 2 separate locations). told mechanic to check line that runs to altinator. I assumed everything was good because he told me it was fixed. Ran it up a coulple steep hills with lights, heat, defrost, wipers and radio on day got car back no warning lights. went to drive it next day- fisrt stop fine but when i tried to go to next stop battery light returned. Any ideas?

change your sparkplug wires that will salve yor problem

SOURCE: Engine runs rough after about ten minutes /idles really low

Just trowing some suggestions out there, but, I would check the idle air control valve (solenoid) or the throttle position sensor. If they check out then my last guess would be the map sensor or the vaccuum to the map sensor. Hope I was able to help. Best wishes.

SOURCE: check engine light on

Cycle your key, on (not start) off, on, off, on. Leave it on 3rd time, and count check engine flashes. It will be a 2 digit number each time. For example: flash,flash, pause, flash, flash. Is code 22.
Flash,flash,flash,pause,flash,flash,flash, is code 33. There will be a little longer pause after each set of 2 digits. When you get flash,5 times, then flash 5 times again, that's code 55 which means end of trouble code message. have a piece of paper ready, write them down, and get back to us with results.

SOURCE: car stopped while driving, but then I could restart it

You'll have to find out what's causing the check engine light. Take it to Autozone, have it scanned for free then get back and let me know what they say.

SOURCE: trying to locate the starter on my 1994 plymouth acclaim

I would check and make sure the connections to the starter are tight first. try tightening the big cable that goes from the battery to the starter. try to tighten both ends. try to tighten the battery cables them selves too. rule this out first before removing the starter because you could remove the starter and it may test fine and you will feel like putting it into a shop when the whole time the connections were not good enough. remember that DC current or battery power really needs very good connections when it comes to hi power items especially like a starter. if the battery connections are a lil loose the dome light and radio ( small power items will many times still work)
