Two weeks back the car was stuttering pretty bad. To a point where the car would shut down at times. So then i replaced the plugs, and the ignition rotor. That solved the problem for 2 weeks. And now the same problem is occuring again, but when i step on the gas the dash lights and headlights get brighter. When i let go of the gas pedal the lights dim again. So then im assuming it's a bad alternator, but i wanted to double check here before i wrenched on the car. Thanks in advance. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
