If the battery was still able to engage the starter until it died, chances are it is fine and the alt is fine. WHat I need to know is if the check engine light ever come on? Also, I will need you to fully recharge the battery. At that point, I will need you to check for spark and fuel to the engine. Let me know when you get to that point.
