Headlights/Interior lights pulsating. Engine running hot, high idle.
What is your question?
Bad battery, leaking acid, and corrosion. Car died, replaced battery with Die Hard 660, tested it, battery was not giving out good charge, was told needed an alternator. Tested alternator, reading said everything good, except for low outage reading. Mechanic said needed new one, put remanufactured one in. The temperature light in interior was lightly pulsating, interiors lights dim and pulsating. Now headlights are pulsating.???
I also changed the spark plugs at the same time, engine seems to be running hotter than usual, the temp gauge in car is normal, when car in drive and stepping on brake it idles at 1. Any suggestions, or advice..... PLEASE

I am having the EXACT same problem in my 2004 Camry and cannot fix it for the life of me...called dealer said similar problem happened before and new battery terminals should fix it.. did not fix anything! I have replaced the alternator and battery and problem still happens. Car will run for a month with charged battery before it everntually dies and needs recharging. What could this be???
altough you have allready replaced your alternator, it is not uncommon to find a poorly reman alternator out of the box. It sounds like the diodes inside the alternator were not replaced during the reman process. this is not uncommon, as most rebuilders usually only change the regulator inside the alternator. try replacing the alternator with one from a reputable (re)manufacturer. I recommend one from your local toyota dealer.
