Hey guys, so i got my 97 gsx recently, it had an alternator problem, got it tested and failed so i threw a new one on, car drove fine for about 12 miles,(did a 3rd gear pull to 6k rpm) and kinda just shut off on me and wouldnt turn back over, i checked the hoses/loose cables i couldnt find anything, and it started up again about an hour later, and drove it about a mile and died on me again, and now just keeps cranking, but wont turn over, think it could be a plug/coil/spark issue?

maybe a faulty alternator i got from autozone? Battery tested good as well

Im not sure what its called but it looks like something for the fuel rail

Think it’s called power resistor/resistor pack. Don’t know the technical name.

Edit: it’s called power transistor
