Just another problem with the 240. Well I have a obd2 KA and as of late my car just shuts down randomly with no problems prior, other then a bad alternator which I swapped out. It first started when I was driving months ago, it would die instantly and not turn on for a while(couple of minutes). Now it would only run for short intervals of time(like5-10 minutes) and shut off. It would only start randomly also, like the last time if started was about 3 weeks ago.

Now the thing is when my engine dies, it doesn't stutter or anything, just like if you were to turn it off with the key and the engine runs strong when it does start. Any ideas or advice would be appreciated. thanks

Hmmm... Have you checked all battery connections/alternator connections, or even poor ground connections? And even "new"/rebuilt alternators aren't flawless.
