i would def have the alt and battery checked out i know advanced auto does both, and get a second opinion. if your alternator needs replacing go with a refurb. i've been using a refurb for 8 months now with no issue plus their alot cheaper. but if i were you i would rule those two things out and go from their.

I just did my first alternator swap on saturday and had the same problem. I had to remove the throttle body to get the old one out comfortably. I remounted the throttle body and the problem was gone.

Thanks for all the replies!!! It was my alternator again. I had the brushings changed and it worked!!! I changed my fuel pump, cleaned my air filter (I have a K&N air filter), and cleaned the TB. I get better gas mileage now lol And sorry I'm just now getting to reply. I was busy with finals and my kid with his school.
