Okay so here's the issue...
Yesterday after I got off work I decide to change the oil and shampoo the engine on my turbo crx.
As soon as I finished washing it I started up the car and the battery light was on.
Took it for a quick drive to see if it would recharge with some driving and that was not that case. Decide to see what would happen in boost. Car went up to full boost, but when it hit full boost it started fluttering and felt like it was cutting in and out. Limped it back, tach starting dieing on and off on me, then everytime I went about -5 vacume the car would 'flutter'. Just as I pulled it into the shop the car died.
Took the blow gun cleaned out the distributor cap, plug for the alternator, and the alternator in general.
Boosted the car to get it to start. Idles fine when first started then after about five minutes it revs up to 1500rpm then drops to 1000rpm and just keeps going back and forth. Finally the revs dropped big time to about 600rpm and about 5 minutes after that it just dies.
We checked all lines, connections, fucking everything. I could figure it out last night so I ended up leaving my car at work.
