Hey guys. It has been a long time since I have been on here, mainly because of a lack of time and funds to play with my Buick, however I need some help. I can not find anyone in Minnesota that can help me so I am coming to you guys. First, my car is eating alternators like they are candy. It will read 14.1 V on my scan master but it drains the battery when the car is turned off and the key is out. The only way for me to keep a charged battery in the car is to disconnect it, needless to say I am sick of popping the hood every time I want to drive it. Has anyone had this issue and if so do you know a fix for it? I have narrowed it down to the alternator because the car is great for two weeks after I put a new one in and then after that if it sits for a couple days it is completely dead.
Second, I would like to run race fuel in my car when I have my race chip in but I don't want to replace oxygen sensors all the time either. Is there a way to trick the sensors or does any one know of unleaded race fuel? I am trying to run 110. Thanks in advance guys. This car is way to much fun to let it sit but I can't keep putting alternators in it at the rate I am. It's like I have to replace it and check the gas. It's crazy.
