RE: Alternator voltages



Quattrists,

	Sorry if I am rehashing something here - I have been offline for 
a while, but I have just recently noticed a voltage problem on my 
5kcstq.  A couple times when I started the car this week, the ABS-off 
light and the battery light lit up.  The second time, I got to channel 11 
in time to see a low voltage of 10.8 volts!  As soon as the voltage 
climbed up, the idiot lights went out, and everything was back to 
normal.  Anyone know why the voltage would drop like that?  Is it caused 
by something in the alternator? Or, maybe a bad voltage regulator?

	Thanks in advance.
