The alternator needs to be replaced because the car ignition system is running on your battery and the alternator is not charing it or supply dc power to run the car. If the battery is that dead you might have to replace the battery too but try the alternater first

How do u install the stabalizer link on a 1992
Locate the old link, it is one bolt that holds isolators and washers around the stabalizer bar to keep it from moving up and down, and eliminates body torsional twisting.
Remove the old link-you may have to cut it off if it is rotted, and replace it as the old one was, there is one stabilizer link on each side of the stabilizer bar so if one is broke, look at the other side to see how the isolators and washers go.
Always replace both of these , never just replace one. Good practice and not expensive. (They may come in pairs, depending on where you buy them.)
Pretty simple once you attack it.

Disconnect the positive termanl on the battery for about 3 min. reconect the battery the computer should be reset. Drive the car for about 30 min. if it takes that long to get to the inspection station then drive there and it should pass as long as the light hasn't come on prior to arriving at inspection station.if so see how long it takes for light to come on go about that far away from inspection station disconnect battery and try again.
How to replace the brake light bulbs?
Open the trunk, remove the carpet-like covering on the quarter panels, and look for wires leading to the bulb sockets and the bulb itself.
The third brake light will take disassembly of the lense with a screwdriver.
Replace bulbs with the same type, as stamped in black ink on the base of the bulb.

Is the Service Engine Soon (or Check Engine) light illuminated on the instrument panel? If so, then have someone pull the codes and post them back here. Autozone will do this for you at no cost.Caution: don't purchase any parts after reading the codes on their recommendation! If no codes, then suspect either a bad crankshaft sensor or camshaft sensor. There are other possibilities too, but these are primary. I have seen MANY bad crank sensors do exactly what your describe without setting a code.
