I posted earlier about having alternator/choke issues. At the time the dash alt light would come on normally with the switch "on" then come on/go off while driving. Well, I went out to run to the store and the alt light did not come on when I started the car. Went to the store and again did not come on when the switch was turned on. Had the same high idle problem when this happened. Later that night went out to check and light came on normally and alternator was charging around 14.6 volts to the battery. choke worked properly. Went out this morning and dash alt light did not come on at start and alt was not charging. 12.6 volts at battery. Replaced the alternator this afternoon and light still doesn't come on with switch on and new alt not charging at battery. Any ideas?? thought this was going to be a relatively simple fix with a new alternator but given how it was acting for the last couple of weeks obviously something else is going on. Help!!
