Default Voltage dropping while reving

Ok, I need som advice. When I rev the car and the rpm's come down, the car shutters and the voltage drops down to around 10 volts. Also when the car shutters, my rpm's drop down to around 400-500. The car is a 97 6mn.

Had the same problem, turn out to be a bad connection at the battery terminal.

Seeing as you have a 97, it may be a good idea to check ALL of your chassis grounds. My 98 gave me FITS and it turned out to be bad/corroded chassis grounds!

Here is my post on cleaning the chassis grounds!

It has helped numerous other forum members solve some weird electrical problems!

Make sure that you clean your battery terminals and make sure that they are torqued on the battery properly (11 ft/lbs)

Please let me know if you have any questions.
