August 21, 200519 yr comment_135044 ********Wild Speculation Alert************I have no idea of the duty cycle of the fuel injection system for the Z car. However, could this be a case of the injectors firing so often combined with the current draw of the ignition system? If you didn't upgrade the alternator with the engine, it could be the case.Also, what is the normal voltage at the battery at idle? Your voltage regulator might not be adjusted properly.
