[DML] Re: Battery Light, RPM movement

[tobyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Willie - Have a look at the main ground stud for the ignition coil 
and other related electrics.  The stud can be found by removing the 
vertical carpeted panel at the rear of the parcel shelf.  The stud 
will be facing you, on the "passenger" end of the shelf, about 8 
inches above the shelf with two large black wires typically 
attached.  I would recommend taking the connection loose, cleaning 
everything, and then reinstalling with dielectric grease.  This 
ground is involved in the coil, as well as the signaling to the 
tach.  As an aside, if you look to the left, around the corner of the 
underbody from this ground stud, you'll see another large stud 
sticking out of the fiberglass with a bunch of large brown wires 
attached.  This is one of the main +12 volt power buses, and is also 
the jumper post in the engine compartment.

returns back to normal when the battery light goes off.  The strange 
thing is I don't feel any sort of rpm change in the car.  It does not 
speed up or buck, it acts as if nothing is happening with the rpms.
