I get at least 14VDC across the battery at idle no problem. Battery was recently replaced and has been tested twice since installation, and the alt has been tested throughly by NAPA and myself before and after it went in. As I said even during the problem the voltmeter in the car shows well above 12, and it's only after the engine actually dies thus alternator not turning that the meter drops to 12. If it is the alt or the battery no warranty will replace either so requires me to pay out of pocket because tests show both of these components to be in great operating condition. Which I've done once already, and can't afford to do again. It was after reading posts here that led me to believeing that even though power didn't seem to be the problem, perhaps it was the reman alt that was previously installed, so I payed a premium and went to NAPA for special order BOSCH reman alt. And was quite disapointed when it made no difference.

Also possibly of note, it seems to make no difference whether I run the car with the AC on full or with all accessories completely off, same thing can and does occur.
