Well after that problem I let the car set for 3 days...and well it now goes to 7.8k before I had a problem where the car would go from 6 psi at 6.2k all the way to -10 vacuum...after 20 minutes of driving it would sometimes go to 7.2k very odd....and now the hand break light comes on when I start it....it went off...well before during hard running I saw it come on but thought nothing of it well now under hard acceleration it comes on I know that the Altenator is going out the hand break light and the battery light come on.


I need help lots of help.

Change the Altnator maybe that why your car has been running like crap? either way u have to change it anyway.

the light isn't coming on just the hand break light by its self anyone know what triggers it by itself? anything besides the altenator?

Just the brake light comes on by itself? Hmmm? Have you checked the fluid level (brake fluid)? Does your car have ABS? If these things are O.K., maybe you have a short in the parking brake switch wiring (the one that makes the brake light come on when you pull on the e-brake).
