Possible electrical (or alternator) problem? Options

[travisxcore]

I don't know if its just cause this is an older car or if my alternator might be going bad but does anyone elses interior/headlights flicker and get dimmer when their electrical fans cut on? Or when I have my subs on (not really that high powered either) my lights dim. I know when I have them up (I have a 1500 watt amp w/o a cap) that'll cause it. Just wanna check to see if I should get a new one.

your window and sunroof are like that cus the motor is already weakened through the ages. alternator won't throw codes, they don't have sensors for any error problems, it either works or it doesn't. there is one on ebay for a 91 2.2L motor, however, you need to confirm with the members here if it fits. I don't see why it wouldn't, the motor is exactly the same, and the mounting points shouldn't be different since it doesn't connect to the body or anything. but still you would have to research here or ask. and this website is for it also, http://www.maniacelectricmotors.com/hiou140ampal23.html. good luck.
