Spark Plugs do not affect your alternator. As long as your engine is running then it should be charging unless your alternator is bad
No.
engine speed, engine load, coolant temp, throttle posision and intake manifold pressure
The alternator does the charging and it is controlled by the engine computer.The alternator does the charging and it is controlled by the engine computer.
In answer to your question the coolant temperature sensor on a 2000 Pontiac grand am with a 3.4L engine, is located on the rear of the engine above the flywheel. It is located just behind the what I believe is the alternator.
The alternator is run by a belt connected to the engine. When the engine is running the alternator is turning. The alternator is what produces the electrical current that charges the battery & powers everything electrical while the engine is running. the battery is mainly to start the engine.
on the engine.
The alternator on your 1999 Nissan Maxima can be found on the front of the engine. The alternator will be on the right hand side of the engine.
an engine runs best when at a certain temp, which varies according to the engine and how its used. a thermostat helps regulate this temp. too hot, and engines fail, or over heat, too cold, and engines can build up excessive carbon in the cylanders, as it is not hot enough to burn out; and also affect climate controls.(a/c heater) when an engine reaches a certain temp, the thermostat opens, allowing coolant to fully circulate in the engine, keeping it at a constant temp
No, the alternator recharges the battery. Of course the alternator is turned by the engine.
If the engine is running and the alternator is good. If the engine is not running, no.
