[QUOTE="Tankota, post: 922717, member: 16157"] This is my econobox commuter. ('85 honda) Just started this week. Car runs and idles fine until you turn any of the following by themselves: the fan, the headlights, the rear defrost, the aftermarket running lights. Then the idle drops REALLY low and gets a bit erratic (all below idle speed) until the engine dies. What I've checked/replaced so far: I replaced the negative battery cable and it still does it. Battery tests fine at autozone and starts the car just fine (12ish volts while off and 14ish volts while running). The alternator failed 2 of 4 tests at napa so I got a new one and the dang car still does it (nice way to spend $100:booo: ) Any ideas on what would fix this? [/QUOTE]
