Hey guys, I haven’t been on here for a while since I sold my 90 teg over the summer… anyways I just bought a 91 RS last month… today I noticed that she’s acting kinda weird… I noticed at first that my clock would dim, and then the seatbelt, check engine, and oil light would come on… then the car would start losing power, it would come back on, and then start losing power again… I’ve noticed that if I turn the engine off and then start it again it’d be normal for a little while… but it’d just do it again after a few minutes… I first thought that it could be the alternator, but when I had to replace that in my other car the entire dash would dim, not just the clock… any help would be much appreciated…

So, have you changed the alternator yet into your 91 rs integra? You can’t really compare the situation in your old. You might want to try that first before doing anything. It seems to me that you’re having electrical problem…more likely it is the alternator because it would dim etc…how’s the battery?
Yah but if it were the alternator then the whole dash would dim, along with my headlights and such… but not the case here… everything else stays on just the same…

here try this! http://www.g2ic.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=43312&highlight=dim+light
how much would it be to change the alternator for a 92 ls?
actually I noticed today that when the engine dies, I hear a ticking behind my guage cluster… any ideas?
seriously man i wouldnt doubt its not your alternator. cars do different and illogical things when the alternator begins to go. get it tested its like 10 bucks before you scratch your head to much more
Most auto parts stores will test your electrical system for free. All you have to do is ask.
