iv got a ka24e and im having some electrical problems! I keep loosing battery power. iv replaced the battery like 3 times and i just put in a new alternator. when i crank the engine it starts fine but then when i begin to give it gas the engine starts to bogg down and starts stuttering and turns off under heavy electrical load. (like when i have the lights inside side the dash wont work rite or the RAdio wont turn on untill u give the car some gas then they bplink but then the gcar just dies rite after. it seems like something sucks the battery life over nite and i cant seem to find out what it is Its not a fuel problem just put in a brand new Walbro 225 Fuel pump and replaced the fuel filter not long ago so its not a fuel issue. ANY IDEAS? Its my only whip rite now so i need this fixed ASAP lol (yea sux rite)

I would replace the terminals and clean all the major ground wires and then tighten them up real good.

Make sure you have the alternator wires hooked up right too.
