ya you are right if it is the alternator it would start right up would it? mine didnt it would die and i would have to wait for a while then jump it but is it possible something is wet and shorted out? some times the cars have gremlins mine does. hey maybe it will fix it self thats what i hope for. (not likely) man im glad that 5star kid is gone what an 8 year old girl i bet we are all glad hes gone what a n00b

yea thats was what i was getting at what dsm1990gsx said. these cars are not made to run your BOV to the atmosphere. if you do, it will stall out soon as you take your foot off the gas

i had the same problem with my 97'.. it turned out to be O2 sensors. about $500 to fix all the messed up wiring and replace many other sensors. Ps Alternators give out....they give out.
