Re: Alternator Rebuild - comments and pics

Re: Alternator Rebuild - comments and pics

Re: EJ22 OBD-1: Strange Start Problem (Pt 3)
I believe the ECU is grounded through the main engine ground to the intake manifold so you could check that.There are documented problems with poor ground connection there. The ECU supplies a ground
