AHHH....Wheres the juice going?!

I took out my smog pump, AC, and related crap yesterday, and now my car is losing electrical power when it sits. I tried taping up all the connectors so they werent creating a short, but that doesnt seem to be working. Anyone have any ideas? ANY at all? PLease help, I cant afford to get stranded sonmewhere. Thanks

Did you get a different size belt when you took out the smog stuff?

Or...

Did you get pulleys? Maybe the pulleys were of a different size and having an adverse affect on how fast the alternator's spinning.

I left the pump on, so I used the same belt. Thanks for the suggestion. Any others?

did you make sure that all of the grounds you disconnected are bolted back up?
