This is what I noticed about his car.
On startup, the lights were fine. When the air pump turned on, they start to flicker at the same frequency that the the air pump runs at. His car is an AP1, but I don't know the YM. It only does it at idle, too.JW

I too like Coop's alternator idea. Has the charging voltage been checked? How many miles?Not all who wander are lost...

Well, this is my half-educated answer...Originally posted by Satisaii View Post
When you start the car it does not rest at normal RPM's, it goes higher (1500-2500 depending on weather I guess). When the car goes back to normal, "resting idle" RPM's (600-800 I think) then there is less voltage being produced. That equals the SAME reason that it doesn't do it while driving. It's all related to voltage. Whether it's the battery or the alternator, there's a voltage problem. Remember, the batter provides the power, but it has to have something behind it to "fill" it up...

i will have to agree, alternator or battery. maybe you can meet someone up and swap batteries to eliminate that option. if the problem still occurs i'd take the alternator off and take it to autozone or o'reilly or something to get it testedComment
