Default weird alternator

okay... so when i start my car it will run for about 2 minutes then the battery light comes on... about 10 minutes after that the car completely loses power and stalls (dead battery)... ill let it sit for a couple hours and then it fires right up.... what the heck is goin on???

Default RE: weird alternator

check your grounds and with the car running, check the plug that goes into the alternator.....if you wiggle the plug a bit when the car is running you can listen for the idle to change.....if it does, then thats your problem
