Well its been awhile since ive been in my stang i rebuilt the motor in the summer and i hardly take the car out, the car probaly has 50 miles at most with the new block. i really want to start driving it again but im having diffrent problems with it. 1. problem that im having is i have a voltage problem the car sometimes wants to turn off i have to stall it sometimes at the stop lights . My frineds told me to put the stock crank pully back on , could this fix the problem? 2. My tranny is slipping and the oil its leaking is red orange they told me it was probaly the oil pan seal could this fix my problem? thats about it i really miss the car and i like the attention i get in the car since its convertable so if you all could help me fix the little problems i have i would appriacte it so i could start driving the car again. i hate just seeing it in my garage :snow_laugh:

1.Not sure what the crank pulley has to do with a voltage problem? Did you mean Alt pulley? Do you have underdrive pulleys? Have you had the alt checked for free at your local parts store?
2. If it's leaking and you are low on oil it can cause the tranny to slip not shift properly. However if it's just leaking and it's not low on fluid you have an internal problem that news attention.

I'm guessing you are experiencing some idle surge prior to the car stalling correct..? you might check out the idle surge thread that has been stickied...

I don't think swapping your crank pulley is going to help you out any. Sounds more like some of the issues you will find within the idle surge thread.

Crank pulley has nothing to do with your voltage problem. After putting your engine back in the car you need to:

1) Reground the whole motor.
2) Clean all your sensors.
3) Set your idle.

Those 3 should get rid of your voltage and car turning off at idle, given everything else works as it should.

Make sure what oil/fluid you're losing, then get back to us.
