About a month and a half ago my s14 (95) would randomly die. Very rarely. Maybe twice in 3 weeks. Than it started happening much more often and finally one day shortly after a jump my alternator gave out on me. So I go buy a new alternator and throw it in. (Also replaced water pump with it.) Got the car started again and found my 75 a fuse had blown so ordered another one and put it in. Also installed some new kicker speakers in the front. Went driving and noticed after about 15 mins that somethings not right. My lights started dimming and my radio would turn off when the bas would hit and quickly turn back on. So took the car home quickly after. Next day thought I fixed it and took it for a drive. Half a block later I'm pushing my car back home. Baught a new battery and tried that but its still not right. Also now my car will not turn off unless I pull the battery cable off. I'm stuck and I'm suppose to be selling my car in 2 days. Plz help! I have tried many different things and have been looking for solutions for the last week. No luck...

Oh btw the motor is a ka with 11:1 pistons and fully built head. Underdrive pulley, 255 lph fuel pump, and 370cc injectors. Not sure which maf it has but its not stock. Also has an electric fan. This is the first problem I've had with the car in the 6 months I've owned it.

Nothing?

Well I did a shit ton of work on it yesterday and thought I fixed it. It charged from 12 volts to 12.5 and I thought it would keep climing but apparently never did. I ran a new ground and fixed my ignition switch and found my electric fan wiring was all messed up. Car ran awesome for a short while. I think its just because I had a brand new battery in it.
