Well actually that FAULT error has apparently gone away after the vette tech who installed my headers tightened up that ground screw on the alternator he forgot to tighten during the install. The error codes went away as well.
I believe my problem now is related to a faulty voltage regulator. If I remember correctly, these are now built inside of the alternators. I remember when they were separate units. But it sounds to me that the voltage regulator is not telling the alternator to charge up the battery intermittently. I may be all wet about this, but been thinking about it all day long trying to figure it out. I'm in the process of looking for a chrome plated alternator right now. I may be wrong, and if so, at least I will have a shiny alternator in place while I continue to try to track down the problem.
I would just hate to get stranded somewhere when the car stops running, which certainly could happen.
