everything points to a bad alternator. 200 1989

tony,

i think you are correct. i charged the battery overnight. the voltage was 13.5 before i started the car. the voltage started at 12.46 with the car running. i idled the car for 51 minutes and the voltage dropped constantly to 11.92. i am going to pull the alternator and check the brushes.

by the way, my alt warning light was on and did not go out over the 51 minutes.

i am pretty sure a new alternator is my fix. i had no idea the car would quit running if the voltage dropped too low. my bad.

thanks again. i will report my results.
