I broke a ground wire on the alternater due to the lower alternater mount bushing deterioration. After running on the Battery for who knows how long I discovered the problem after lossing voltage to the radio and cruise control. I pull over, grounded the alternater, push started the car and let it ideal while a ran into McDonalds to wash up. YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE CLOUD OF SMOKE WHILE THE BATTERY WAS LOW AND THE ALTERNATER WAS AT IDEAL SPEED. It all cleared up after get'n on the road and charging up the BATT. hope this helps THOR GAARDEN <arkiarchnopsamne.no> wrote in message news:ksAT3.7$Vd1.247nopsam1.online.no... > In article <380f113b.0nopsam2.cluster1.telinco.net> , "david palmer" > <millennium_saabnopsamlise.co.uk> wrote: > > > > > ccfreak <ccfreaknopsamway.net> wrote in message > > news:7ulq3r$rbq$1nopsam.laserlink.net... > >> My 89' SAAB 900 turbo starts to blow out huge clouds of smoke the size of > >> large buildings of you let it sit and idle for more than about five > > minutes. > >> It clears up when I hit the gas a few times.
