The first thing to consider is the fact that the engine bay was washed. The water will create shorts in the electrical system, especially in older cars with aged wiring. Its also possible that something was knocked a little loose in the electrical system as it was being washed.
Check grounds. Ive had the same issue with a 91 accord. All i did was touch the motor to the negative battery and jt came to life. Could also be alternator. If the engine bay was washed, sometimes it will kill it. Thats happend before too. Multimeter will tell you. While car is running it should be 14 ish volts
don't trust the grounds on the car, as they are old and may have been messed with by the previous owner. Make a new grounding to the frame and see if it makes a difference.
Bro, Never put the battery in your seats. Any seat. It will damage the upholstery. That car is nice. It's a lemon but it's nice. I had one and sold it to a friend and he is selling it now. Same engine and it is really fast. It's a torky little car. Keep the good work.
Shifter bushings are an easy fix, the ones AnythingWheeled sell will fit perfect in your IE Turbo. I have one too and it made the shifts nice and crisp
The squealing on start up could be from a loose belt. A simple belt adjustment might solve the issue as well as solve the alternator issue. If the belt is slipping it may not be spinning the alternator properly for it to charge the battery.
The squealing is a belt issue. Usually it means the belt is slipping or worn out. For a belt thats newer you can use belt dressing spray to treat the belt and give it more grip. Belt squealing is common on start up, especially on older cars.
@@Waybeforethefame you said it’s got a new belt right? No point in replacing it. If the belt gets wet it’s gonna squeal anyway due to lack of friction on the pulleys. I wouldn’t worry about it.
The belt was squealing because Teggy just washed it so it was too wet. That snapping sound IS definitely a plug wire. To see where it is just pop the hood at night and look for the light as it snaps. Take the battery out again when it's running and then put all the lights on, heater fan, everything to see if the alternator can keep up. All those grounds need to be grounded not just attached to each other. That has door won't be able to be welded. Not only is it sheet metal which is hard to weld but it's rusted sheet metal that's impossible to weld. Look for one when you're in Japan. The surging is probably the the carburetor. Good luck Nick.
@@Waybeforethefamethey are arcing. You have to see where it's touching metal, cracked or broken and replace it. That's not normal at all and will make you lose power, misfire and possibly other issues.
The surge could be your idle air control valve. I had that issue on a Honda I used to own that was the quick and easy fix. You could check that out. It could be the grounds you have you could also try and ground it to a better spot and see if that helps. The surge could be your idle air control valve.

After changing the battery, if the power loss doesn't return you should be OK. Car's in the 90's started having a feature called limp mode that would allow you to get somewhere safe If you were running out of power. Your cluster goes crazy and performance is severely dropped. I've experienced this in a 96 Dodge Intrepid, 01 Saturn SL2, and a couple of Toyota Corolla's (09, 17).
You need to check the grounding or earthing of your wiring, or connections re the lighting - think you had some lighting upgrades? Sounds like a slipping belt in the Teggy clip rather than an alternator.
For future reference, if you suspect the alternator, start the car then remove the positive lead off the battery...if the car dies, its for sure the alternator, if it stays running it could be the battery...have th auto store test and charge that old battery and put back in and do the above just to see.
New cars this can cause big issues. You can get the alternator tested easily at a shop with a scanner or a portable battery tester. Even advanced can check your alternator.
@@Waybeforethefame do you have a multimeter? Disconnecting the battery to test an alternator is an outdated method and can damage modern vehicle electronics. Instead, use a multimeter to check the alternator: 1. Set the multimeter to DC voltage. 2. Place the red probe on the battery’s positive terminal and the black probe on the negative terminal. 3. Start the engine and check the voltage: • A healthy alternator typically produces 13.8-14.8 volts. • If the voltage is below this range, the alternator may not be charging properly.
check to make sure all wires are actually ground wires in the area you showed where you put them all together. Popping sound seems to be a postive cable connected to ground
An alternator can be damaged by excessive water exposure or high pressure water streams, so maybe it got damaged when washing, if it is the alternator. You can check this by using a multimeter to see the output voltage, should be around 14.x Volts. If its not there, then could be something wrong with it. 9:22 your ticking noise sounds like something is loose or rattling since its inconsistent. 3cyl are inherently imbalanced so you need to make sure stuff is tightened down cuz they can rattle things loose. I had a scare about a month ago on my way to work with my Alto, the air filter came loose and was rattling bad made me think my car was knocking bad until I opened the hood at lunch and realized it was barely even on the piping hahaha
Ray from Anything Wheeled is having the same surging issue with his Suzuki. He's gone through ALL the possibilities as to what is causing the surging and seems to have an idea what needs to be adjusted to fix the issue. There is no reason for you to try and figure it out when he has already done all the work. Call him and ask for help.
I suggest testing the battery with a multimeter. If you're getting 14V with the car on, the alternator is good. If you're reading below 14V that alternator might be sus.
I watched a guy in Vietnam take a trashed JDM Truck. He stripped everything. Took off the flatbed, opened and refurbished the axle, gearbox, engine. Long video, I was mesmerized. The pink lemonade is great for content
An alternator can look ok. But internally it could be bad Could be completely dead or just barely producing a charge. A new battery can run your car for a little while not getting charged but you don’t want to completely drain it without it getting charged. It could be a ground issue but most likely the alternator. It also could happened when you got the engine compartment washed. 👊✊👊
Alternators go bad over time. Some last a long time, and others fail early. Theirs no rhyme or reason to it. They fail in one of 2 ways usually. First, they just flat out stop working. Second, they gradually fail When this happens the battery will slowly loose power over time, lights will dim, radio will stop working, and eventually the car will stop dead. The same situation can happen with a bad battery. Have you alternator tested by a mechanic to see if its putting out the right amount of charge and replace if necessary. Remember, the Alto is not a new car. You don't know what kind of life it had prior to you owning it. The majority of the parts are old and are showing their age. DO NOT ignore sounds or odd behaviors that are not normal. These are your warning signs that there might be something that needs attention. Continued driving without addressing the issue could lead to a minor breakdown or something more serious like total engine failure.
Ground things to the body not together like that. That battery charger sucks I had one. Buy a quality one. Get a multimeter you can check your alternator in a minute. Problem is probably from power washing I cringe every time he does that. Not good for the engine at all.

The first thing to consider is the fact that the engine bay was washed. The water will create shorts in the electrical system, especially in older cars with aged wiring. Its also possible that something was knocked a little loose in the electrical system as it was being washed.
And putting cold water on a hot engine isn’t smart….
Exactly what I was thinking. Also that excessive water exposure or high pressure water streams can damage an alternator too.
I wish the issue continued after the new battery was installed
The snapping sounds like a plug wire grounding out possibly.
The squeal would be a slipping belt.

I'd say its because the pullies and belt were wet that it was slipping, I detail, its common after cleaning an engine.
Lets hope its a good fuck

Maybe ill swap the belt just to be sure

6yrs of daily Alto-ing taught me to always run a volt meter in the cig outlet.
I need to get a boost and volt gauge on my pillar dash

Your right I had some ICV issues with my cappuccino
@ I would start with that maybe it could be cleaned could also clean the throttle body of it looks dirty
Check your belt tension as above, if the belt is slipping you’re not charging the battery.
ima check my belt tomorrow

Is there a manual or automatic belt tensioner?
Glad you were able to make it home safe after all that, breaking down always sucks
check to make sure all wires are actually ground wires in the area you showed where you put them all together. Popping sound seems to be a postive cable connected to ground
I'll double-check those wires!
Bring it to Lowell MA with Mendy.. the homie will figure it out
Thats the plan tomorrow
Thermostat or the coolant temperature sensor is shot as well.
True that, I think auto zone does it for free
Drop it off here with all your parts. Come back from Japan to baller alto ;)
Nah I wanna turn and burn. Keep driving it down to ATL lol

Maybe a wire issue, you did move them in the video.
Cleaned the engine compartment, smoked the alternator......what if that has anything to do with anything?
Lets hope not
Hate to say it, likely culprit was the engine bay cleaning. Starting a car too quickly with any of that water in there can cause issues.
yeah youre probably right
you should find a parts store to load test your alternator for free
"Yes its Clapped" LOL
😂

even if I removed the battery and car stays on?
@
It could still be weak.
It also could be the belt got wet and loosened up or the tensioner is going bad.
Or an electrical issue.
loose ground?
I think that can be one of the many things lol
If you ever wash an engine ban dont use pressure or steam. I lile to disconnect the battery and hit all the connections with wd40
WD40 helps?
@Waybeforethefame yeah. The W and D in wd40 stands for water displacement. But you really want to do it right after.
The glass i would just talk to an auto glass shop and see if they have that gasket and ask them to replace.
Chat are we cooked? To oh thank God it's alive.
WERE BACKKKKKKKK BUT KINDA
Voltage meter will tell you if the battery is charging in the event you have a bad alternator just take it to rewind. Cheaper than getting a new one
I hope they can do that, I new one is only $85 Shipped from Japan tho

Replace the alt. Its going. Get
A light voltage monitor/charger if u want to be paranoid.
dammmmm
Alternator
Your alternator should be tested. Advance or someone can test it. That’s a simple baseline test.
Thanks for the tip!
Junk that bad boy. It's not worth it. Forget the tires.
Come on brahhhhhhhhh

Dam really? I used the charger today and seems fine
@ it works but it’s weak and won’t last. Maybe for a kei it’s fine but bigger batteries no bueno.
Multi meter
I need to do it
This is a money pit Nick... hopefully I'm wrong but you might end up wasting time and money here.
