Ok— here’s a Weird one for ya…
On first/cold start of the day.. occasionally it seems like the alternator is not kicking in. There is a lag.
And the voltage begins a slow drop. It will recover fine if I rev the gas a bit.. it then goes rapidly up to 13.6-14.2 range and runs just fine.
The voltage regulator is part of the ecm (which has been replaced recently) and the alternator is working fine (has also been replaced recently)
I’m confused as to what the heck is going on.
