Engine stalls

Well WAYERS87,

That battery cable trick worked in the 1970's on back, but then, still, you were putting the voltage regulator at risk with a voltage spike (so what was $30.00 back then?)

Nowadays, the alternator is the least of your worries, spiking a modern car might mean a "New Computer", "expensive modules", someone to diagnose the now exponentially more complicated problem, expensive computer stuff, and that is even before the problem at hand can be diagnosed.

Bad WAYERS87, Bad WAYERS87!

Lol!

But, I was serious about the possibilities of what can happen.

Maybe you got lucky.

Look under "Electrical" in this link on how to properly test the battery and alternator

As far as the battery goes, remove it and take it to a popular auto parts store for thorough testing.

This might aid you should you need a new anything. A124/ TRT30/ TRT41, still worked a week or so ago.

It may just be a bad battery, It may be that the juice from the alternator is not reaching the battery.

After the battery check/ charge/ replace test the system using my first link, or again take it to the auto store to insure the alternator is charging the battery.

If it is not, I will find you a diagram on what all is in the charging system that could go wrong/ along with locations of the parts. If you do need this info, send me your VIN number, it will insure I get the correct diagram for you.

Regardless, Come back and keep us updated on the situation!

I would start by having the fuel pressure tested.

Roy

Yes. Always perform tests on the electrical system with a properly charged battery and never try to charge a completely dead battery with the alternator.

What is the actual fuel pressure?

Roy

I would scan the computer for both hard and soft codes. I would also see if the alternator is charging properly.

That is the vehicle's security system turning on and shutting off the fuel pump. You need to have the system scanned to identify where the problem is coming from.

Further to above, if the security system is acting up to cut off the engine, it could be due to a system fault or an interruption in the power supply. Check for bad wiring connectors and the ignition switch.
