[QUOTE="Vegas Sporty, post: 1041948, member: 74136"] It this a normal reading of my alternator gauge? I have had intermittent stalling issues in hot weather. I read somewhere that a faulty alternator could cause sudden stalling issues. It's a 2001 OEM that came with vehicle. It's not driven a lot but have had a few dead batteries over the years. Engine cooling is steady in the middle and shows cooling is fine on a diagnostic engine reader. No codes being kicked out by computer. I'm beginning to lean in direction of a intermittently failing alternator. Reasoning the engine runs off the current from alternator and if it's failing it would cause a sudden engine failure. Once it dies it will start up again. As for things done over the years. Any thoughts ? fuel pump (twice) fuel filter Coil distributor cap plug wires wrapped fuel line with insulation ECU cleaned ground cables various connection areas EGR crank sensor and connector [/QUOTE]
