If your voltage is normal at idle and shoots up as you increase RPM, then I'd say your voltage regulator is bad. In older cars, it is a separate part, but most cars, it is built in to the alternator. It is more cost effective to replace the whole unit. You can have it pulled off and tested at your local auto parts store.

What voltage will be in a high voltage lead on a car?
11-15v from batt.
How spark plugs produce high voltage?
Spark plugs don't produce high voltage they just make sparks with high voltage. The high voltage in a car is produced by running the low voltage of a car through a coil and condenser a distributor defines exactly when the spark happens to light up the fuel in the cylinder
How do you add a voltage gauge to a 91 club car golf cart?
put the thing on the end of the thing
Where did the wolfman park his car?
By an old shack marked ''Danger High Voltage!''
Where source and what parts of high voltage in ignition system of car?
The coil generates the high voltage charge which is then distributed to the spark plugs by the rotor arm in the distributor cap.
Low voltage indicated on gauge but Auto store tested charging system and found voltage normal?
sounds like you have dirty field points on your alternator or your voltage regulator is going bad. Replace your voltage regulator in your car first, they usually only cost like $20-50. If it doesn't fix the problem take it back. Then have your alternator checked out by a store that only does alternators... This is provided you haven't changed any idle pulley sizes, if you have your under the RPM's required for that alternator.
How thick is the metal on car bodies?
18 to 20 gauge high strength steel on modern cars and 16 gauge on older cars.
How high of a voltage can be used to charge a 12 V car battery?
15.5 volts
What is a car coil?
The coil is a high voltage transformer, used to step up battery voltage to 50,000 volts to fire the spark plugs.
Why is the battery gauge on the instrument panel of a 1996 Ford Probe reading HIGH whether the car is idling or in motion?
Two options. Either the alternator is bad (voltage reg), or the computer is no good. Turn the head lights on (at night). If thy flicker, like high beams, then the computer is fried. C.E.
What vehicles come with a digital car gauge?
Vehicles do not come with a digital car gauge. You have the option to install a gauge in your car at the time purchase.
What are possible solutions for a nonfunctional temp gauge in a 96 SC1?
GAUGE IN DASH OR ITS VOLTAGE REGULATOR IS BAD. WIRING OR CIRCUIT BOARD. UNIT IN TANK. FLOAT IN TANK HAS SUNK. dISCONNECT GAUGE AT TANK AND GROUND THE WIRE-THAT SHOULD CAUSE GAUGE TO GO TO FULL HOT. MOST CAR GAUGES WORK THE SAME WAY.
