[QUOTE="<natem33>, post: 2322"] First off, caps do work, your cap just may not be effective until you get this problem fixed. I'm not sure what you have done so far to address this problem, but what guage wire is the power and ground? Are all the connections clean and tight on the alternator, battery and amp connections? does this happen when the car is running, off, or both? Has your cap been charged? Is your battery holding a proper charge? Have you tested for a short in your electrical system? - Sometimes even new alternators are faulty so I would double check that too. In my last Honda I was given 2 alternaors that were faulty in a row. Many alternators that you buy new are actually rebuilt ones. [/QUOTE]
