Hello, If the battery is up but the car has a hard time running and the battery light is on, then yes I would have the alt tested. Chances are it is bad

Thanks,

Brad

ive had bad alternaters before and they usually dont just die like that as there was no warning at all .i hadnt been driving around with the battery light going and it was running fine.which makes me wonder if it could be the electronic timeing or something along those lines .however thankyou for your answer and i will get the alt tested today and if you have any other thoughts on what it could be plaese let me know .

hi brad i have my car at the mechanics and sorry you are along way off the correct answer it turns out that there is no injector pluse and that goes back to the main computer .so im sorry if i didnt give you enough information but i had no idea what it could be at the time and all i could tell you is what had happened so i will not accept your answer but thankyou for your effort and if i ever need more answers i would be happy to ask you and if its correct be more than happy to pay you

Hello Bevan, thank you for posting back... I had about given up on you! Looking back through the conversation, it would be a shot in the dark to conclude no injector pulse...
Payment is at your discretion. That's the policy and I do appreciate your confidence in my ability to help in the future. I'm glad it was resolved!! It's been a pleasure working with you !!
Take care,
Brad
