Repeat of the previous post. I bought an alternator from Autozone for $214. The alternator is pretty easy to get off the car. It took me about 15 mins. I took it to Autozone, it tested 'dead', and I ordered a new one. Took a day to get the new one, and I was back on the road.
I was getting 'jerky' power when accelerating slowly for about a week before the alternator quit. One night while driving around, I got the check engine light then about a half-hour later, as I was pulling into the house, the driving lights turned off, the ABS light came on, then the traction controll turned off. It seemed like, as the ECU was losing amprage, it was shuting down various systems. I turned the car off, then tried to re-start it with no avail.
