My alternator went out on me today. I managed to limp home. Replaced the alternator and serpentine belt and now when I start the car it barely idles, like 100 rpm, and even when I hold the accelerator down to about 1500 rpm the same message comes in and out. Battery Not Charging and then it would go off for about 10 seconds and then right back on. Right after installing a new alternator the Amp gage went up to 14 volts but eventually came down and holds right around 12 volts. Any ideas?
