Hello im sergio, new to this forum, i figured this would be the best place to ask about my cutlass’s problem. I have a 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham, the problem is a couple months ago the battery on the car died so i replaced the battery since also it was a really old battery , after a couple days the battery drained down to almost no voltage, so i recharged it brought it back and car was good for a couple days, but battery kept dying so i figured it was an alternator problem so i replaced it with a new one. Still had the same problem, i started to check grounds and connections all seem good and tight but i still cleaned them off, but car kept draining the battery. I noticed that when the car was in idle the voltage would be at normal (13v) but as soon as i placed it in drive or reverse it would drop to about 8v to almost nothing, with lights on it would drop all the way.
One day i took off the main power terminal while car was on, an voltage went right back up as if was fixed i would place terminal back on battery n it would drop again and engine would bog down . I was wondering if any of you guys might have been in a similar problem . If so i would greatly appreciate your help.
