CAHLEAN!
My teg keeps sporadically shutting off while i'mo driving!
A little backstory:
So! I have had my 92 gsr for some time now and everything has been dandy. I bought a pair of 2 kicker 300w comp 10s and a kicker 600w amp off some kid. my friends and i installed it and the car powered them fine. a few weeks later the battery went out after its 8 or so years of operation. got that replaced and car was running fine. so my gf got me a new deck for christmas and i installed it myself and then my current problem started.
(keep in mind i have found no pattern to this problem i.e; bass too loud, no bass, running it hard exc...
except that the car dies on a decel, as in when i'm coming to a red light and push in the clutch to stop.)
at first the deck would just die for a second and turn back on and play like normal. then after a few days it would turn off and then back on a few times within a short drive, but not every time i drove/drive it. there were days when it wouldnt happen at all. now the deck turns off and then back on a few times and then the car will die completely. sometimes it will go a week with nothing going wrong and sometimes it will die 5 times in 5 min.
I was told it could be a bad alternator spinning wrong on a decel, and i am hoping its just my lack of a capacitor in the system. i know this is long and convoluted but any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
