I would definitely replace your alternator if it is dead. I had the same problem on another one of my cars (Ford). It was really frustrating because the alternator tested good but it kept happening so I thought it was the battery and got a new one. It stopped for about a week but then started again. The alt. was the problem after all. I would also go oem Bosch because the autozone ones don't last that long.

The car had a choppy idle before installing the eBay Corrado G60 140 Amp Alternator . After slapping this on it cured the rough idle and flickering HID's at night on cold start up.
Bosch F3cs @27psi no issues and no gapping
I finally got the new, correct pump installed and the Rabbit lives again!
eBay came through for me. I located a 140 amp (vs 90) alternator from a shop in L.A. The Bosch rebuilt G60 alternators use good, but not the best bearings. The owner said he'd use a good core, put in the better bearings (SKF) and build one from scratch for me (gratis). He recommended against using the OAD on the pulley.
The Bosch 044 that I am running has a running pressure of over 72psi... over double what the Digi system requires, and I have had it installed for a little while (factory FPR) and no problems.
Bosch Battery from Pep Boys 80 Bucks with a 20 dollar rebate. OEM fit.
Make sure the new coil is a good Bosch, Beru, or OE unit, not parts-store brand junk. I've seen plenty of bad coils out of the box.
This is true, the Bosch pump is loud, The Walbro is kinda loud too but it is totally bearable, At idle is whines but thats the only time you will hear it..
Bosch wiper blades are terrible
