So with this post I will either be heralded as the guy who eats glue or as the guy with the continuing issue. Also apologize for the vertical filming as my phone only seems to be able to save in vert mode
I started the car so it could get to operating temperature before I did any tests and I noticed something underneath the car.
I will let you all be the judge of what you see as I am ashamed to even type it out.
Only that one side showed anything substantial.
Now after that fiasco, which may or may not render the rest of my post useless, I will continue.
I do not know if I did this right or not since to get to the post on the alternator I have to remove the intake manifold which I do not want to do since I'm a lazy ass.
There is a cable coming straight from the alternator post (added image). I disconnected it from the battery and tested from there.
Like I said I think I did it wrong but let me know so I can stop being lazy and actually take the manifold off and rig something up to the alternator.
Towards the end I did put the positive lead like a foot away from the alternator on the cable. Also I will add that in another video I changed the negative lead to the engine block and there was no difference in voltage.
Next up, I disconnected the pedal and there next to no change in idle.
I reconnected the pedal and disconnected the TPS and restarted the car and this is the result:
