Came out from store and car started but sounded badly and when put in gear it stalled. Restarted several times and found lights and radio not working. Also found that when engine idling rpm sound would go up and down. Need $140.00 tow to get home.(-

What is your question?

A few days later after some investigation was pulling alternator to get tested. Noticed cable on ground under car and found it to be the long starter to starter relay cable and believe it was torn off by tow truck equipment. Am almost done replacing that cable and am taking the alternator in to get tested tomorrow. The two people who have been nice enough to listen to me at parts stores however tell me probably not the alternator causing the problem. Does any one have another idea what else to look at? Thanks everyone!
