That's not a valid test for an alternator....the guys at AutoZone had no idea what they were doing. To truly test an alternator, it needs to be removed from the vehicle and run through a 100 amp+ load test.
The voltage regulator is in the PCM/ECU.

I replaced the alternator and the engine speed still drops. I changed it because Autozone tested it and said voltage was fluctuating...but true they tested it on the car not out of the car. steve ------------------------ Yahoo!
