My honda recently started stalling on me while I was driving, I can only drive a few miles and it will stall without warning the SES light comes on it stalls and take up to 2 hours to restart, but once restarted the SES light is out. Also about a week about I started my car, I noticed some blue smoke coming from under the hood. I investigated it, it was coming from the area near the alternator and smelled electrical. Now the battery light flashes on and off, but the battery isn't losing charge.

Hi Erinb111788,

The alternator is failiing and it could be that oil has got into the carbon areas.

Get a scan done and come back with the exact error code and we will see what needs to be done.
