Okay, so.
I have a 1997 GS-T.
I'm driving home from work and I notice that turning my AC on makes my CD player skip. Being curious I start poking around and notice that I'm having an electrical problem. I get home and park, and as I try to put my windows up the car dies. The car doesn't restart, so I turn it to battery to put my windows up and then go to bed. The next day I bring the battery down to Autozone and get it fully charged, back to like 580 CCA and 14V or whatever, I can't remember. Everything is okay for two days or so, then the same thing happens. Sound like an alternator problem? Also, I had a gasket blow out a while ago that shot a TON of oil all over the place, could oil hitting the alternator have caused this?
Thanks
Ian
