Warning Lightsbeattie 08-04-2005, 12:34 AM On my 86 camry, as soon as it gets to a higher rev my brake and charge warning lights come on and the temp gauge starts to climb but as soon as i let of the gas and the revs come back down everthing is fine. What is going on with my car???? Mike Gerber 08-05-2005, 01:18 AM Check the alternator belt for proper tightness. If that is fine, then check the alternator and battery with a DVM. It should be around 12-1/4 volts with the engine off and around 14 to 14-1/4 volts with the engine running. You will probably find that the alternator is barely over 12 volts with the engine running. It's time for a new alternator. Mike Bossman 08-05-2005, 07:56 AM "temp gauge starts to climb" = thermostat maybe? This happened to me on my 87 Camry and it was the thermostat. :2cents: vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
