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
