I said:
Could be a weak alternator.
Terrin said:
<<It's not the alternator. If it's your alternator, regardless of speed,
everything will dim, and it's only a matter of minutes before your car
dies. You also will not be able to rev up because your ECU isn't getting
enough power.>>
Then Dae said:
<<Boy, you hit the nail on the head. B4 my alternator went out, my
sentra would stall out when coming to stops sometimes. I thought it was
a fuel delivery problem but since I replaced my alternator, it never
happens. I would have never thought of it being an alternator issue. But
a new alternator fixed my stalling problem.>>
There is a difference between a WEAK alternator and a FAILING
alternator.
A weak alternator could exhibit lots of problems that would seem to be
related to other parts of the car that require electrical power for them
to function correctly.
A failing alternator puts out little-to-no power at all and would cause
the problems stated in Terrin's answer.
I'm not saying that my answer is right, I'm only saying that the
alternator should not be ruled out b/c of Terrin's answer. Dae's reply
shows the validity of my guesstimation.
