Best case you have a hose that popped off or IC pipe loose. Worst case, apex seals gone.

I told Eric to remove his alternator and get it tested. My FD does the same thing when the voltage is low (glowing oil pressure and coolant)

Eric: you better fuckin do it!

it sounds like some kind of electrical problem with the alternator. get it tested or check the grounds b/c its draining your battery

edit: turn the car on. turn on ALL the accesories, light etc...., if the voltage goes anywhere lower than 12 or it shuts off then the alternator is poop.

Battery was killing the alt because it was only a 100 output battery. I had to replace the the alt and the battery. Im hoping the low power was causing the low idle issue I still need to do some tinkering to my battery holder and then im going to fire it up today.
