get a mechanic to have a look at it before you waste anymore of your money
the stater has nothing to do with the engine shutting off
probably a fuel cut off solenoid or fuel blockage or could be drawing air into the fuel

Why does your alternator get hot and car shuts off when you remove positive wire?
The alternator is going bad, may need to be replaced soon

Your alternator is probably not keeping the battery charged while the car is running. You need a new alternator!!
What if your car is makes a chugging noice and shuts down unless connected by cable to another care could this be your alternator?
your battery needs to be charged first with a car battery charger then start the car and see if the alt/battery light is on if it is on then you probably have alternator problems if the battery does not charge enough to start the car then get a new battery first a good indication of how the alternator is working is to check the voltage at the battery with the engine running if it is between 13.6v and 14.4v then it should be OK if it is below it then the alternator needs to be replaced or repaired if it is above then the same apply as too high a charge will damage your battery in the long run
Your car starts with a boost and stay running while on boost but shuts off when booster is connected you change the alternator and it still does not work?
Are you certain that the alternator is connected properly? Is the keyswitch working properly? Does your alternator have an internal or external regulator. How old is the battery? If it's about 3 years old, especially if you live where you have a real winter, about 3 years is all you can expect out of a battery, and it will just collapse and die. Auto Zone will check your battery out for free if you take it in. I wouldn;t have just replaced the alternator unless I knew that was the problem. Phil
How do you know when the alternator goes out?
If you are driving in the daytime, your car will loose power and then turn off. If you try to start it, it will not even crank. That's because once the alternator broke down, the engine was now using the power of the battery to run. And since the battery is not getting charged by the alternator, then the battery runs out of power and everything electrical in the car shuts down. If you are driving at night, your head lights will dim a lot and then your car shuts down. Try to start it and it won't even crank.

Try jumping it off. If it cranks remove the + side on the battery. If it shuts off the alternator is bad .If it does not shut off clean the battery terminals . Have the battery checked at the Auto Zone.
When your running lights and ac is on your truck shuts down what causes this?
Bad charging system? alternator or generator does not supply enough power to keep battery charged to operate accesories. Bad battery? can't hold charge.
Why does your 89 Chevy suburban shut off by it self and when you try to restart there is no power?
The battery could be dead. The battery connections could be loose. (Check these before you do anything else.) The alternator could be bad. It is not the Battery being dead other wise other things would work like horn, radio, lights, and other things. I would Start with your starter. If your starter dies the truck dies everything shuts down and when you try to start it nothing happen. That is where I would start first and then I would start on the other things.
What is killing the battery on a 97 Chevy Tahoe It will crank with a boost but after driving for a little while every thing goes dim and it shuts off?
Sounds like the alternator has failed. Can also be a couple of dead cells in the battery, or loose or corroded battery cables.
