If the car idles and dies, what makes you think it's the alternator or the battery? Do you lose all electrical when the car dies?

It is probably either the alternator or battery. My battery went out after less than 2 years because there was a problem with one of the cells. Just take the battery out and bring it to a place that can test them.

petey, jump the car with no battery inside it. Leave the battery out and let it run. if it does, its a faulty battery.

Start the car and then d/c the battery. If it stumbles and doesn't stay running then your alternator is gone
