Recommended Posts

well i just got it out of the shop last week for a bad fuel pump now the electrical system is crapping out my battery level keeps going down and down i also do hear a fate wine form the motor so i`m thinking 1 of 3 things

 

1. short

2. battery

3. alternator

 

any opinions if this stuff keeps up i`ll sell the car next spring or so and buy something else 3.4 DOHC are a PITA

Alts are fun on the 3.4 DOHC. What takes 10-20mins on a 2.8/3.1 takes hours on the 3.4. It'll only cost you an entire afternoon though.

Not like it takes weeks of labor or anything.

It shouldn't even take 6hrs for a beginner with nothing more than basic hand tools. Just one night, load up on coffee and pull an all-nighter.
