I have a 2000 oldsmobile alero and I was coming home and the car just shut off. So I tried to start it back up and the lights came on like it wanted to start, but it hesitated and shut off again. Do you think the alternator went out?

Well I have a 92 with the same problem at one point. Chances are your strut is bad. Good guess. Or the upper control arm or lower but chances are just a strut. About 125 installed. No more i would pay.
