I was on the way to the office this morning in my Saab and had to take it home and grab my other car. What I experienced was sudden voltage fluctuations down to 10 volts and up to about 16. This happened maybe 12-15 times in a 20 minute trip. My car has the OEM 3-gauge panel so monitoring the voltage was easy to do. Each time the voltage dropped it kicked off my radio as well, and the engine hiccuped.
Anyone have any first thoughts? To me it sounds like the voltage regulator. Car is a 1987 900 turbo convertible.
Thanks.
