    Weird loss of power

    I just had the head on my m10 surfaced and all that jazz. well i was driving the other day and i lost my radio,interior lights dimmed and eventually lost my cluster. when i got home i put it in park and gave it a good high rev. everything kicked back on and my lights were bright again. day two i was driving and my revs dropped and car slowed down, wouldn't go anywhere, but it didn't die. it was still on. i put it in park shut it off and started it back up and it drove the rest of the way to my house. I'm not sure if the timing is off or if its a transmission thing. its an automatic if that makes any difference. any ideas would be much appreciated.

    Have you gone back and double checked your work to make sure you didn't leave something loose?

      Sounds like the alternator to me

        Ok. so i went and replaced my alternator and battery. My interior lights and cluster work. but my car has a hard time maintaing idle after start up. it will instantly die or die after a few min. If i can get the car running and drive it around it seems like its choking itself out. when the car is running and i mess with the wire to my #4 injector the idle will change and possibly kill the car. This weekend I'm going to cut apart the harness and trace that wire back as far a i can and put a fluke meter on it and see if it has a short. Any other input is appreciated.
