Alternator intermittently charging after 323,000 miles.
ok, so after doing 323,000 miles on my yaris, my alternator light on my dash kept coming on intermittently while cruising at 3000rpm. but once i put the car into neutral and rev it to 6500rpm, the light will go off and come back on sometimes after a couple minutes or sometimes after a couple hours. it varied. so, i got a used alternator from miami off an 08 yaris doing only 7000 miles for $75. the alternator looks brand new. so, i new i couldn't go wrong. i swapped it out and now the problem is gone.
this is the first part that i've ever changed on the engine, apart from regular maintenance parts.
