ok here the story i have a 1994 deville 4.9 4100 its been sitting in the back yard for seven years untill i decided to buy it the owner has been in jail thats why i got it so cheap.
any way i knew it need a radiator so i got that yesterday and installed it.
i started it and let it run for about 10min and it died so i tryed to restart it and the battery was dead so the next day i removed the alternator and took it to autozone and it was tested. it put out a solid 14.5 volts so i took it back and reinstalled it i got ride of the old batt becuz i was convinced i had a bad cell so i took the battery out of my 91 deville and it started right up and idles fine even when i turn on the high beamers there is no change in rpm so i figure the alts charging but to further test it i remove the - batt terminal while it idle and as soon as i took it off it died. so now i just dont no where to look. was the 94 designed not to run with out the battery or what.
please help and tell me what to check next
thanks in advance
