I have a 91 s13 i put on a underdrive pulley and now when my car is at low RPM's I am having electrical problems, my alt. is not charging till i drive the car or rev the engine. I was wondering if the underdrive was causing the alt. to not spin fast enough to charge at low RPM's thanks for any info......

what kind of underdrive pulley did you get? Was it smaller than stock? Do you have a lot of electrical equipment (speakers, subwoofer, etc)? You sure your belt is not loose?

its called an underdrive pulley for a reason, upgrade to a quest alternator if it is a real problem, or have your alternator tested
