Hey i was hoping someone could help me, I've been looking around but I don't see anything similar. My sc300 alternator blew its regulator, so i bought new one and installed it. I Got my battery recharged, hooked it in and when i started my car it just idled badly and then turned off. I figured that as long as my foot stayed on the gas I could keep it on. So (after i learned to drive with both feet) i went to get the alternator and battery tested. Both turned out to be running perfectly so that was no help.
**The exhaust also smells horrible and is thick and grey when the cars at idle (it sounds like therevis some misfiring too).
**the previous owner did that sc300 12v fuel mod so i was thinking of undoing that maybe? or changing my fuel pump
Any help/info for my poor SC would be great guys
Thanks!
(( I'm away at school so my regular mechanic isnt available & the ones up here are
so I'll probably be fixing with a friend))
