somebody mentioned something about removing the alternator from the car to test it so I figured that's what he did. I should hope he knew enough not to get a voltage when the engine was cranking over but not starting.
With the batt voltage being good, it wasn't the alternator that made the car stall. The car would run until the volatge got so low it could not provide spark then die. The low voltage CEL is a red herring. That CEL probably came up after the car died. We really need more info from that CEL on what the car was doing when the CEL came up- but you need a better scan tool than a bluetooth code reader for that.
