I dont know if its my alternator or bad electrical but i drove down to Toronto last weekend (around a 60km trip one way), traffic as usual my voltage drops to battery power at stops and the motor starts sputtering. I quickly take her to neutral give her a quick rev, and the voltage jump back up again. This happens continuously, i put a brand new battery in there, all grounds in the engine compartment were sanded and cleaned up not long ago, any ideas? wouldnt the alternator die for good or will it give out symptoms like this?
thanks
