I'll also mention that I have had some misfire / hesitation issues with the Metro off and on. I've never really been able to fully pin point the problem. I'm sure some of it has to do with my malfunctioning kill switch (since replaced) and worn ignition components (distributor cap & rotor, not replaced), but I'm not entirely sure that this is 100% of the problem. On the only other car I've had an alt delete done on, my 97 Paseo, I had zero ignition issues with the alt delete and no voltage boosting done. Of course it had coil on plug, so it was probably innately less fussy.
