The alternator only charges the battery it has nothing to do with starting. First identify whether you are getting spark, fuel, and air. Check the airbox for a mouse nest (it happens), plug in an extra spark plug grounding it to the block, and crank it, you should have a bright blue spark. Make sure there is gas and that the petcock is on and that fuel flows past it. There is a vacuum line that is needed for the petcock to work make sure it's plugged in. Repost once you have done this. You should have a better idea of what is the issue then. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
