first off,ive done the keydance and pulled the usual battery disconnected within 50 keys ons, EGR, and this time i pulled the low voltage code... at first before that i thought great.... plugs and wires are going out due to my delayed tune up but did that and still the same problem, but my symptoms are split second misfires that cause my rpms to drop at that split second as well but my alternator squeals when extra power is needed such as fans, Turning on HID's and so forth... also it goees away when driving. i had the battery light turn on a couple of times but then turns off after turning the car off but rather then go fixing things randomly i wanted your guys opinion keeping in mind that alternator hasnt been changed recently so im assuming thats my culprit since the alternator belt was changed when my AF/X pulley was installed any input is greatly appreciated thanks for your time

Sounds like you may have a short somewhere that might be causing an intermittent loss in power. I would suggest checking all your fuses and making sure none are blown as well as possibly check for bad cells in your battery by having it tested. Then you might as well change you alternator since you haven't replaced that as you say. If your alternator is going out, your high-priority electronics (HIDs, fans, sensors etc) would be drawing more power than the alternator can supply at that given time. If you want to check on that before you spend $150+ on another one, take it to your local parts store and see if they can test it. I believe it should be around 12-16V output. Anything lower/higher than that is an indication that you need to replace it. Hope this helps.
