There should be a large grounding strap from the engine to the frame. It's normally connected to the upper starter bolt, check it. that could be your problem.. |

check the serpentine belt for proper install, it can and will go on a couple of different ways and still fit! when i did my alt. i put the belt right back on and wow, the alt. wasen't acting right, i swore i installed the belt correctly, but didn't, so not to insult your intellegence, but check it out again! here's a pic to help,

sorry that i didnt tell you guys that it is for a 92 range rover. i did check the ground strap and it looks fine. im woundering if it could be the little black box on the back of the altenator. it started fine this morning every thing seemed ok for o couple of minutes, i mean in respects to rpm gauge. then the usual fibulation to a spike then dead. |

Good chance that your battery is defective.
