Yesterday the car wouldnt start so i thought it was because I was low on gas and on a steep hill. So I went to get gas and still no start. It turns over but im not getting any spark.

The day before the battery light was comming on and off. So i got a jump to see if that could have been the problem, but nope. the radio comes on though.

What could this be? I just bought all new plugs wires and a new coil pack.

Could it be the alternator, because im running 3200wtts for my stereo system (with a 2 farad cap)?

I hope to shout! Think you got enough noise making devices in that car that is demanding way too much power from a stock alternator to run?

better put in a Cummins diesel alternator from a MAC Truck with all the power you're using.

Alternator said, 'the hell with it!' .. and died.
