Hi all. Thought I would move this topic from the parts wanted section.
After fitting the new Alternator in my 1992 3.1 V6 the car turns over but will not start. I don't think the fuel pump is working and there is a loud tapping sound from where the air filter meets the throttle body, And some of the dash board lights are flickering when the key is not in the ignition
I Have checked all the fuses in under the steering wheel and all are ok. are there any more inline fuses anywhere. I cannot see any under the bonnet.
any help in much appreciated
Thank you
Darren

thanks for the reply. The battery terminal wires don't look the best. They are both tape up with insulation tape. I will pull it all off tomorrow and have a better look at the wiring.
Thank you John

Thank you. And sorry your alternator has packed up. Hope you can sort it soon.
I placed my order with Robin and it was delivered the next day.

All done. 10 minute job. The joys of classics with loads of access.
