It ran great before, just now all of the sudden does not want to start unless I floor it, that is why I was wondering about the alternator? I can not think of any other reason it would not be running right, because everything is aligned correctly.... How can I tell if it is VTEC or VVTI engine? My thing is Chevy's.... not foreign cars.. LOL
