Car Trouble.driving Me Crazy!!
Okay.. so I decided that I',m doing a swap on my car. But it's still sittign in my driveway. The reason why I'm making a swap is one..i was going to do it sooner or later. TWO. I had trouble with my old engine. But for some reason, before this whole problem staarted. I had trouble with the alternator. I changed the alternator. BUT THE SAME PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED!! MY LIGHTS DIMMED. MY RADIO TURNED OFF. AND I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE PLACE THAT PUT MY ALTERNATOR IN AND THEY FIXED IT AND KEPT IT THERE FOR TWO DAYS. TELLING ME ITS OKAY!! PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN!! AND NOW NOT ONLY THAT!! MY ENGINE IS MAKING THIS TICKING NOISE. LIKE A LOUD BANG. I MEAN WHAT MORE DO I HAVE TO GO THROUGH TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR. I FOUDN OUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE TICKING. BUT WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MY LIGHTS STILL DIMMING AND MY RADIO TURNING ON AND OFF. I MEAN I CHANGED THE ALTERNATOR..WHAT ELSE CAN IT BE? WILL SWAPPING MY ENGINE FIX BOTH PROBLEMS?? I ONLY HAVE A CD PLAYER AND A ALARM SYSTEM IN MY CAR. THATS IT!! HELLLLPPPPP!PLEASE!!!

Um not sure, but probably. Swapping will bring in new wires, new alternator, new engine to work off of. However, you will encounter other problems as Swaps aren't easy things. If you are serious about doing a swap and you are having problems with your current engine then go for it. Is your car under warrenty? you can take it in to be fixed if it is.
thank you so much. Yea thats what i thought too. DOing the swap would help because its new wiring and new alternator. Hopefully this helps out big time. If it isn't I'm goign to be soooo mad. Thank you again.
