you should be able to disconnect the postive on the battery and the car should run off the alternator. if it dies your alternator is bad.
Well then you make a suggestion then!!!!!
What do you mean when you say the car was dying?Usually an alternator goes south, battery light comes on, volt gauge drops(if equipped), car runs off the battery till the battery is dead then the car stalls and will not restart. It will have no battery power. When you say... the car was dying, I think... the car was stalling. An alternator, in my experience, won't cause a car to stall multiple times while driving.
