    Electrical issue -focus

    Let me know if you have any ideas on this.
    Driving my svt focus today and the idle starts sticking at drive rpm. Ie, if I'm at 4k rpm and slow down in neutral it stays at 4k before finally coming down. Stop for a bit (3hrs) get back in and the battery light comes on. Goes off as driving but comes back at idle. ??

    He battery is maybe 8 months old. Headlights don't dim at all, all accessories are working, starts fine also.

    I don't have an answer or know where you're located, but I do have an obdII scanner that you're more than welcome to use and hopefully find out the what's going on.
    I know some O'Rielly's rent them as well with a refundable deposit. Did that on my mom's Expedition since she live's out of state.

      I'd start at the easiest/cheapest Sean, check/clean the IAC valve. That shouldn't cause the battery light to come on though, but perhaps a bad ground is causing both?

      On a side note, get a man's car. Having an SVT Focus only says that you fought your wife just enough for some dignity.

        I made the call dick. 90 mile commute and a 4x4 v8 jeep that got shiity mileage wasn't exactly what I wanted.

        I hate electrical issues, my kryptonite.

            Glad it was an easy fix. Took me months to track down the electrical problem on the 88. Which ended up being the neg. terminal and wire coming apart. Most expensive terminal ever.

              Easy find, not fix.

                Most of the time when the battery light comes on, the alt has taken a dump.

                  Any thoughts on the rpm hanging?

                    When voltage drops too low the car will do funny things.

                      Apparently. The bitch just died on me. Abs light came on, gauges and accessories died and so forth. I was close to my sister's place and was able to coast in.

                      Fuck.

                        Alt was bad man, the battery just died.

                        Replace the alt and charge the battery.

                          It's a motherfucker. Have to pull the motor mount and raise the engine. All my tools are packed. So i'm trying to figure out how to get this bitch somewhere.

                            Have you actually popped the hood yet? Sure it didn't just throw the belt?
