LIMG Troubles

Okay, thanks for the help guys. I finally figured out the problem, which was just bad plugs, I replaced them and the wires and she fired up nicely. Now I have a new problem tho. The battery won't charge. I checked all the wiring, everything is fine there. The battery was checked, and that is fine. I took the alternator off and took it to Auto Zone where they checked it and said it was bad, so I bought a new one. I fire it up and the check engine light, and the battery light both stay on. Its just running off the battery. I have check the voltage of the battery and when not running I get 11.49 volts off of it, which is alright since I drove it home after recharging it. While running, the voltage is 11.29 volts. Anyone know what else could be causing this?

sounds like you have a bad connection somewhere, check the cable for the main, and possibly just run a new one, they can deteriorate, because of being so close to the rear exhaust manifold

Yeah maybe Nate, but I got 2 crappy alternators from AutoZone. One lasted a week the other 2 years.

Is there an Advanced Auto around you? I've been buying my parts there
