92 GS Power Loss Dead

Post by waspone »

My car has a new battery, started fine got a charge light on my way home from class, my radio began to die, then my gauge cluster....

it stayed alive under its own power enough to get me home, and now its dead in my driveway. Gave it a boost started in a flash, took the cables off and it stayed running with charge light on for a good 5 mins then it started to chug a bit and shake kinda, so i shut it off.

I thinking alternator?
I had this same thing happen once before and the cause was a seized crank pulley that apparently broke off my alt belt. I diddnt however get a new alternator, just a new battery bely and pulley.

any ideas???? anyone got an alternator :P ????
