I started the car up, and like normal the alternator did not self-excite, so I had to give it gas to 2500-3000 rpm to get it to charge (a known problem with my car).
Then, while driving out of my neighborhood the radio stops picking up a signal (but still on)...then the SRS light turns on. Normally this is because the key isn't exactly in key position II, so I bump it left and right a bit to see if that's the case.
At a stop sign, the car sputters and dies. When I tried to restart the car, there was no click, no noises, etc. It kinda felt like a dead battery, but my interior lights and dash lights were all on.
What gives?
And more importantly - what steps should I take to troubleshoot this to get the car back on the road ASAP?
