Vac/Boost gauge fluctuations and reading 0 sometimes.......and it's a new one.
Thru the SES light for a PO106 code. I'm hoping it has something to do with the alternator bearing.....

The buzzing under the hood reached a loud whirring noise by the time we rolled in the garage. Very obviously the Alternator.
I have it out now and will bring it in for a rebuild tomorrow morning


That was two weeks ago.

Got the new alternator last week and installed it when I got home last night.
The old one was so bad, they couldn't rebuilt it and had to replace the entire rotor.
I had to drill out the wire eye connections from 1/4 to 5/16".

$330. ! :eek2:

I haven't had time to drive it yet. My daughter is due in the door at any minute with her beater Neon that just drove two days from Edmonton. More to fix....... :roll:

Ya, well I figured on a $100 rebuild that was supposed to take a day. :roll:

Just changed the oil and charged the battery. Sound real good now. Itching to burn a bit of asphalt. :twisted:
