Default Re: Alternator problems at idle on L78 Camaro

It would be interesting to put a voltmeter on the battery terminals while the system is under load and have a willing participant slowly increase the engine speed from idle. If the Alternator is charging, you should see around 13 volts, if not, it will be less than 12 volts. Might be a good test for the Alternator.
