Voltage Drop and Lights Dim when Coming to a Stop

[CHI2000GTP]

Looking for some tips into what could be causing this ongoing issue that I'm experiencing in my 2000 Turbo Prix. I have a previous post on here form a few days ago where I'm experiencing ignition issues. That issue is now fixed and the car is driving but maybe the two issues are related?


Whenever I'm coming to a stop, whether pressing on the brake pedal or just coasting to a stop, my voltage drops like a rock. At idle is stays constant at 14.3 or higher. When driving it's around 14.2v or higher. When coming to a stop however, the voltage drops to as low as 9.8v. I have a quick, 20 second video of it happening below. Watch the Aeroforce in the top right corner. Numbers jump from 14.2 > 10.8 > 13.5 > 14.1 > 11.1 > 13.7 > 11.2 > 14.1 ...etc


Things I've done already:
Scrubbed, sanded, scrapped all grounds. EXCEPT for the under carpet grounds in the cabin.
Replaced IAC sensor with brand new AcDelco sensor
Cleaned MAF sensor

Have you had the alt checked? Wonder if the voltage reg. is on its way out.

I would stop in AutoZone or your preferred shop and have your battery and alternator tested.

Alt is 5 years old. Have you tried taking the zzp booster off?

Yesterday I put in the spare new battery I have, made sure it was 100% charged. Also put in a nice new stud for the positive terminal.

No Change.

Booster is next.

Removed ZZP Voltage Booster - No Change


Next up is an alternator swap, and going to go ahead and replace ignition switch/harness.

Also, I've done some reading and it appears that a bad brake booster could be causing this. Doesn't look like a fun job.
