If you're having a similar issue I would first monitor the voltage while driving this will give you an idea of if it is charging or not. I believe Carly has a monitoring option for alternator discharge. Mine would display 0 when not functioning properly.

Before replacing the alternator, did you have to recharge your battery every so often? Or leave the car alone for days/weeks on end and it wouldn't start until it was recharged?
