I Have A 2001 HOnda Civic Ex. Recently my alternator went out. I don't have the funds to fix it. So my Brother Game Me One He HAd From a Earlier swap he did on his car. He Has 95 honda civic D15 Jdm . I gotta D17a2. I replaced the alternator The holes line up and everything is good except there is still slack in the belt even with it all the way out on the bottom bracket. So SHould i Just by a smaller belt or should i get another alternator.

 

Either smaller belt or swap the pulley off of your old alternator (I'm guessing that it is larger). It will probably take an impact wrench to loosen the pulley nut without just having the shaft spin.

 

Yeah I Switched the out. Its The Bracket on the bottom of the alternator thats is giving me problem b/c is all the way out and the belt is still lose

 

ALright ANother Question I took My Old One In TO THe Auto Parts Store ANd They Said IT Was Good.Any THing Else Happing That Could Make MY Car Die Out

 

Under what circumstances does it die? We need to know this to help diagnose it.

And what's with your weird capitalization you got going on there?

 

Yeah Sorry I SPilled SometHing ON mY KeyBoard. It Dies WHenEVer I REmove The Cables FRom THe BAttERrry.AnD My Batt Light Is On Inside The cAb. Im gEtting Another Keyboard Too

 

It's cool man just wondered. When does the car die?

 

Do not remove the battery cables with the engine running. To test the charging system, measure the battery voltage with the engine running. If you don't have a voltmeter, get one. You will need it because clearly your car has an electrical problem.

 

ALright I Bought Me a Volt Meter ITs At 11.84 With THe Car Running. WHere Should I Start Looking First FOr THe Problem

 

Yeah, that is way too low. Run to the auto parts store and get the free battery and alternator test so you can figure out which of the two needs replacement.
