well I just went to go get some late night eats and then on my way home, the headlights started flickering like crazy and the battery light on the dash was on.
Then while i was sitting at a light, the car just died.
Well after push starting it, i finally got home and then it died again. Jump started it, and after pulling the cables, the car died a few minutes later.
alternator the problem?

That's the SAME thing that happened to me right before my battery died. I had a dead alternator. Question, did you notice your revs lowering when you turned something electric on?

have the same fckn prob. but i just replaced my alternator. is it possible the battery can die at the same time? i started it then let it sit for 15 mins to see if its charging. at first it was ok but then when i turn my headlight it was flickering. at the same time. idle drops whenever i switch something on. i was getting 10 v out of the battery after i warmed it up.
