VT Acclaim
Hey all,

Just put a new motor in my VT Series 1 exec v6 commodore.

Nothing on dash / speedo works at all. (other then lights)

Car starts fine and revs fine in Park and N, But when i put it in gear and accelerate it's like it's draining power from the electrics.

As in when i accelerate, the dash lights dim / lose some power the more i accelerate,

The same goes with the headlights, they don't just dim a little, but heaps. like a dead torch.

The motor also splutters and wants to die when accelerator is released, after revving.

hope someone can help.

Cheers

Thomas

LEXCEN, VN, VR, VT,
is the alternator belt on?

sounds like the alternator might not be giving the battery power.
