    had the truck parked for a month or so in the cold
    battery of course is dead ( it was -30 )

    driving it -
    it died at idle

    went ok while driving
    but could not use anything electrical
    or it would die

    cleaned terminals and cable ends

    Now its charged
    Seems like the alternator MIGHT be going funky

    Warning light is on
    load tester shows charging at mid 12v

    if i take off the neg terminal
    it stays running
    but dies if i turn on anything electrical


    Does anyone know...
    if anything from a early 90's civic or prelude will swap over??

    Checked ebay

    and by the images, they look very similar
    look like they might work with a few mods

    just wondering if anyone had tried this??

    101211-281 ...is the original part #...any vehicle using the e07a engine should use a compatible alternator...2 hours searching and can't find a thing though..possibly an early civic (early 1980s)...seems both denso and possibly mitsubishi supplied alternators. Honda beat used the same engine and they were available in the UK so possibly an ebay purchase from there may work.. You could always try a rebuilder..they may be able to do something..internals are no issue it's case fitting that is the most important
