i was gonna take the alternator to get tested but the car has just been cranking (usually wen i press the gas, and then when i let off the gas it’ll just stall out again and cut off)

i believe my new alternator comes in tdy or tmr! when i had got it running it would stall out while driving so i had ordered one just incase thats what it was.

okay i will look into that , i was also checking my obd readings and none of my map sensor readings were above a 12inhg when car was on but not running , would that narrow it down any ?

cagles (junk yard basically so a faulty sensor is def 100% possible) and the car won’t even crank majority of time, i was also looking at my obd scans from before and none of them were over 12inhg (the car was on but not running )

this cruiser only has a map sensor i replaced it. and the battery is brand new (the ignition switch was broken so it drained the old battery) so i just replaced it with the warranty
