How many of you 2nd gen owners with the under-drive pulley have had problems with your voltage dropping down low when the car is just idling? I didn't have this problem untill I installed the pullies on my car, BTW they are RB. My voltage drops down to 8 - 9 volts. :frown:

Are u just going by your factory gauge?
This is my only car I have not had one in it. It just sucks they are $120. :frown: Maybe I'll look into a 89 - 92 alt.

Everything worked fine untill I put on the eccentric pulley. That is when my voltage started to drop. Couldn't imagine my battery terminals going bad all of a sudden (right after putting on the pulley). I think that I'll bump up my idle to 900 -1000 rpm for now. Untill I get my optima.
