The car had been running flawless until lately where I have this problem with it stalling. Sometimes when its going really slow the car will randomly stall but it can also happen when the car is going 60 down the freeway. If I put in the clutch and back into gear sometimes it will help but not always. At first I thought it was the battery not being able to hold a charge, so I went and got another red top optima. The problem still persists. This leads me to believe that it may be an alternator problem, but I am not sure. Here are symptoms:
-Car will build boost and run fine
-Car will stall and be hard to start up for atleast 2-3 starts after it dies
-Will stall when driving slowly (below 20mph) and up around 60mph
-Car runs with fine a/f's throughout the entire RPM range
-Once I installed NEW battery car didnt have dimming interior lights or headlights problem but prior to new battery the car did have the problem when braking
If anyone can help or point me in the right direction I would appreciate it, thanks.
