Re: alternator problem
Your battery should make up for it, so your bat may be out

Re: alternator problem
i had this problem recently and fixed it just by resetting the ecu. its like the car almost dies after hitting the brakes. Reset your ecu and see if that helps

Re: alternator problem
Yeah, unplug the battery and leave it unplugged for about 1-2 hours, and everything should be fine.

Re: alternator problem
unplug the battery, depress trhe brake to let the taillights drain the power, wait 30 seconds, then plug it back up. 1-2hrs is a little too long.
