Clean the ground connections on your car. Most important: Negative
cable on the battery, ground point for the starter under the coolant
bottle (on chassis), and the front connection point (remove the brake
master cylinder access panel to reach). Had the exact same promblem
that you have. Cleaned the ground conections and it was like
installing a new alternator! I just removed the bolts and cleaned the
bolts, nuts, chasiss metal, and the harness connection with foamy
engine brite. Quick, easy, and didn't damage the epoxy. Start from
there and work you way down to the lesser ground points.
