Anyone use an ammeter?
Does anyone use an ammeter on their car? I'm just wondering what kind of amps a normally running car pulls.

Not that it helps much; but to keep my Supra running it is around 25 amps . . .

According to the Matrix service manual, at idle the car should be pulling 10A or less. At 2000 RPM with the headlights and heater fan on full it should be pulling 30A or more.
