Loss Of Power And Now Not Starting
Loss Of Power And Now Not Starting
ok so this weekend was definately part of friday the 13th
as heading on the interstate goin 85-90 goin up hill 5th gear. well as i went to accelerate more i lost power...the throttle did nothing and the rpms were slowly going down so i made my way to the side of the road and it didnt shut shut off but was idling perfectly and nothing seemed wrong. i tried getting back on and got through first,second,third,and fourth...about 2 minutes of going in fifth at about 60-70 it did the same thing as before except when i went to pull over it shut off as soon as i engaged the clutch...never to start again. wound up getting it towed back to my apt and here it sits.
i recently replaced the battery (2days before this) and im thinking that this could be the alternator...i replaced the alternator about 3to 4 months ago....
i tried to start it as soon as we got it off the tower but it doesnt even turn over....
could this be a bad alternator???
all help and any suggestions are very appreciated due to this being my daily driver
