Electric failure, alternator and battery
Hyundai Getz 2007 215000 miles
Hi, everyone. Both at high and low speeds, my car works properly.

I've replaced the IAC valve, sparks plugs and wires, cleaned the injectors and throttle body, but nothing got better.

Hi, I would like to share what I've done. I've installed a thick wire, with the terminales properly welded, from the negative terminal to the engine block, and another one to the chassis. The failure has been reduced a 70%; the positive terminal is still missing. When I do it, I'll let you know. Thanks for your help.
