thats too high ........ bad startor or bad internal regulator ... thats the problem .... should be about 13.3-13.8 ... any higher and you can run into issues ( my exp ) ....

have it bench tested @ local shop or parts store .... betting diod riple is way off ...

 

Alright I will remove tomorrow night and have it tested. This alternator has a 3 year warranty and I have only had it a year.

 

good thinking

 

Would this really cause my problem though of a no shift senario?

 

could ..... not enough sensed voltage to pcm ... ?? maybe
