86 fiero problems

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hey, I own an 86 Fiero- 2.5 ltr 4cyl- and sometimes the engine doesnt turn over and when im driving the lights will start to dim and the cd deck will start to flash. Also, sometimes it wont start and the battery light goes on and then starts to dim--do you think this is an alternator problem? If so, does anybody know where I can get another one for it. 
Also, does anyone know where I can get a headlight motor for the drivers side headlamp?
Thanks alot!

	Is there a click from the starter motor when you go to turn your car over? If so you could rule the starter out(there a pain to replace unless you have a hoist or drop the trans-axle assembly). If you have a multi-meter you could check the ohms, amps and volts in the alternator. If that's not the problem it could be the battery it self. Also check the fuses to see if any have blown(doesn't sound like it to me). If worse comes to worse, then it's a trip to the parts store.
