I have just changed the alternator and tried to start the car. It would not start until I placed my foot on the gas. It started fine at that point and ran fine until I let my foot off the gas. As soon as I let off the gas the car stalls. I can now start it fine with my foot on the gas but still continues not to idle.
When I was taking the old altenator off I forgot to discconect the battery and remembered after a small shock when my wrench went from the alternator wire bolt and touched the engine block. It was a very slight spark and I immediatly removed the negative battery terminal afterwards. I have check all the wires and they all seem to be attached.
Does anyone know what I should check at this point? Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Luke
