Yep, it's just as I figured. The alternator had crapped out (no dash indicators?), then I drove for a few days like that killing the battery dead. Too bad I couldn't get a Mitsubishi Van alternator short notice or I would have "upgraded". Would the "Nippendenso" upgrade work on the 1991 model? The write up was on an earlier model, but it looks like it would work. Might hit the junkyard for one of them to try.

What is the common exhaust leak location on these 2.4's? Is it at the head or the manifold to cat pipe junction? Just trying to judge how much work it will be to fix.
