No I never got that far, since it ended up not starting, and we got it tow to the dealer, after doing some googling I never new a failing alternator could cause so many problems, I guess with all the new electronic in cars today you need a fully charged battery and a charging system that is working 100% under load, even though the car would crank over it still would not fire and I read on one site where you need at least 9.5 volts to fire your coil packs. Thanks again
