Well I have been having problems with my alternator, I thought it was the wire coming from the alternator to the battery so I ran a wire directly to the battery and for now it is charging it. Since then though my engine idles at 2000 rpms and sometimes when I am driving and come to a stop if I take it out of drive and put it into neutral it will idle up by 3500 rpms for a min and then go down. Then this morning I stopped at the store and I went to start the car it wouldn't start up I figured it was flooded. So I waited and it started up slowly after 20 minutes but sounded rackety for a minute. It then stalled twice driving it but started up right away. Also while I was driving it I noticed that my temperature gauge was all the way up, so I put on the heater all the way and it went down to about half way but as I drive it, it went up and down. Finally as I turned off the engine it kept running for a few seconds and then finally sputtered out. I am not sure what the problem could be I always tried to take good care of it and so far it has never given me problems.
