What a difference in voltage at idle. I was reading 13.5 volts, now 14.7!!! The car has been starting slowly for the past year, I was thinking battery as the alternator is only 3 years old. Well, while getting work done by Anders (SwedeCar) his service inspection which is quite through indicated there was significant amount of corrosion at the alternator on the positive battery cable. Anders assured me this was where my slow start was coming from, as always, he was correct. It turns over and fires up quickly.
It was an easy job, about an hour, getting it up on jack-stands and squeezing under the car to get to the starter and alternator was the toughest part.
Cheers!
Carlo
