so my alternator broke down on me recently for the 2nd time. after the first time the mechanic installed a new re-built alternator. the car ran fine for almost a year, but it recently died again. lucky for me the rebuild part and labor was under warranty.

i just got the car back about a week ago and everything seems fine (like it did the first time). however sometimes when i start my car, it seems sort of laggy? it doesn't consistently give me a strong start. for the most part it seems okay, but i just seemed to have noticed that this was the case before when the alternator died the second time. is this even an alternator issue?

should i be worried? the battery is okay as well

95 GLE

thanks!

 

sounds like it could use a ground strap to the starter from the negative terminal. Was the battery tested or is it just newer?

 

so this issue has been around before the alternator died. the battery should be okay..only one year old?

 

clean up your ground and ground your battery.. Maybe even use a ground kit

 

sorry i'm still kinda noob at this....what am i looking for?

the mechanic said the battery was fine. i can clean up both the negative and positive terminal..but am i looking for something in particular?
