Engine Kids
Can a motor speed to leave the arena to kill the alternator? Or to destroy anything in my truck?
I have a 1994 Plymouth Grand Voyager – Not a great car, but sets to children around and seems to be in good shape, especially after the snow out of Pennsylvania when we moved to Florida. I was driving on the beach today and got stuck in some sand, then rev the engine very hard to get out (which probably should have fallen to a lower speed), I noticed the battery meter was down to the bottom, but I did not think much of it and just parked. A few hours later, when we left the beach, the car started fine, but after about a mile, the battery level dropped to the bottom (like the oil gauge) the car started to shimmy-ing, and the speedometer started bouncing at random. I went into a gas station and turned it off, not restart and I have it drag. So what did I do to the beast? I guess it's not the battery, I just changed three weeks ago. Did I kill the alternator? Fry the wiring? Get the sand somewhere should not be? Mess up the fuel pump? Help!
The alternator stopped working and, consequently, the power came battery. Once the battery was dead, will not start. As the battery were dismissed last ounces of energy from the pistons began to stop receiving the spark that causes pressure loss and total energy loss. You may have only noticed at the time but could have been. Components usually leads not notify you of any way that is approaching its demise just a short circuit or ground out at about the speed of light. It is necessary a new alternator and jump once you have that in the alternator can recharge your battery. Based on his history, I doubt it was the belt.
