  4. What happens when and alternator going out?

    in Tech and Tips

    Posted

    Wow i really screwed up the title on this...

    Anyways

     

    Reason why I'm asking is that on the way back from Dark Knight this evening, my car started making a weird noise only around 1200-1500 rpms. I can almost compare it to a hydraulic pump kinda sound. I got back from the movies and looked all around under the hood but I could find nothing. So I took the car out again and did a pull at waste gate pressure, pulled over, and shut the car down to look if I could see and smoke or anything; there was nothing. When I started it again car it struggled to turn over but started. Got back to my appartment and there was a bit of a burning smell but no smoke. Turned the car off, tried to start again and it clicked but would not turn over.

     

    So does this sound like an alternator issue? I am assuming so because it would only make sense the car is dead from running on battery power instead of the alternator. The car has 83k on it and has never had an electrical problem.

     

    Do these things make noises when they go out? Do they fail this sudden?

     

    Thanks

    My car has been doing this forever... I have no clue what it is and it drives me up the wall. It will start doing it every once and a while and it will not go away unless i throw it in neutral and shut the car off for like 5 seconds. Then it won't happen for a long time, or at least for the rest of that commute. The thing that worries me is that my wideband goes off the scale lean when it happens so I never get on the gas when it does happen. It has had me stumped for a while.

    I have been looking around and have found nothing. I am looking for a one way rental vehicle with a hitch on it to tow my car to texas for my internship this summer. There are SUV's available for rent but I have not found anything that has said they have hitch's available. Anybody know anything?

     

    Thanks in advance

    Resumes are NOT supposed to be more than a page most of the time... As others have said, employers most likely read tons of these and quick/to the point is much better than a life explanation. You are supposed to elaborate your resume at the interview.
