Now that I have fixed the Alt. I notice another problem with the G/F''s car.

It seems as if the rev limiter is kicking in just shy of 4000 RPM''s. Red line is much higher, so I find it wierd for this to be happening. It runs perfect up until that RPM, then it just has no more and just sputters. I will do some testing and replace a few pieces, just wanted some quick opinions and other views.

Thanks

Does it do that in neutral or in gear?

In neutral...not sure about in gear. It''s the g/f''s car and I rarely drive it.

I don''t know frickin'' saturns! GRRR

Then its normal. The neutral rev limiter is around 4000. The in gear rev limiter is around 6500 for a DOHC.

Awesome. Thanks a lot Mike. Greatly appreciated. I was thinking it was normal as nothing was registering wrong and nothing was affected. I did some voltage testing and everything appeared to work properly.

Voltage is important, but amperage is just as important. You could have the correct amount of volts, but low amperage.
