Bonneville keeps dying.

My 1992 Pontiac bonneville keeps dying on me. It either dies while I'm driving or it won't start after I've driving it. I think it might be the alternator but the car has juice on the inside while I'm turning the key even while it's dead and it won't turn over. After about 20 minutes the car starts. I'm also thinking that the car might be overheating. Not sure please help. Thanks.

From your description and the car mileage a bad alternator is a good choice. Those black band units have a high failure rate. Have it checked. I think the Zone does it free.
