Alternator went out this weekend and got it replaced. The battery shows that it's charging but the car still runs like shit and the coolant temp and mpg jump around in the dash still. I unplugged the maf and tps but it gets worse. Checked vacuums but nothing obvious. Maybe a ground went out or something? It's got a really lopey idle and won't take any throttle.

So when the alternator went the maf probably shorted or something? I'll get a hold of a new one and give that a shot. Is it bad to drive it like that? Its stranded in a parking lot not too far away from home but I don't want to risk screwing anything else upIf you're not going to do it right, please don't take it out on your car!

Its obd1 and I haven't had too many intake issues. But tomorrow I'm going to pull the coils one by one and see if its firing ok. I didn't really know that the alternator going would have a ton of other stuff go down with it.If you're not going to do it right, please don't take it out on your car!
