I have put a new
I would have the whole charging system tested with a Volt Meter before you change anything else. You can test the Alternator with a Volt Meter while the engine is running. The Alternator should be putting out between 13-14 volts, anything less and you have a bad Alternator. Check all Battery, Starter, Ground connections for loose or corroded wires and tighten or clean as needed.

This sounds like you have a bad cam sensor. This is a common issue on most cars, and the when the sensor goes out completely you will not be able to crank the car w/out replacing it. What you are experiencing is like a warning, letting you know that it needs to be replaced. The part can be picked up at any auto parts store, and you may save some money if you buy it on line. Installation is easy as well.
The radiator fan does not
Sensor in air filter is one of MANY that's connected to your cars computer. I suspect the sensor your looking for is aux fan sensor which is mounted on side of your radiator. It's a brass fitting with electrical connections coming from it.
The brake light want come on, and bubs have been
I would suspect the brake light switch, located above the brake pedal and attached the pivot
on the brake pedal arm. If that is not the problem, it could be in the turn switch. When the turn signal is on ,the turn switch turns off the brake lamp that direction, so the lamp will blink in that direction. Try to wiggle the turn signal lever with brakes on and see if they try to work

My engine is making noise like a diesel car and
If the car has done more that 60000 miles then it is time to change the timing belt and also check on the maintenance schedule of the manufacturer.
The noise of the engine always requires a first hand observation so as to determine the exact fault. Possible that an oil change with checking of all timing/valve settings, replacement of timing chain, tensioner, will reduce the noise.
Put in new altinator onlly reaing 10 volts
With the motor running, the voltage reading at the battery should read between 13.90 & 14.80.
Get a good fuse tester, test each fuse with the ignition switch in the " on " position. most fuses can & should be tested while still in the fusebox. There are fusible links in the fuse/relay box under the hood that are the main source for the alternator to charge the battery. the fuse tester may not work with these. they will need to be visually inspected with a flashlight & or glasses. They may have a see-through top to see if they are blown or not. Use the tester for the normal fuses. There is a fusebox on the left side of the dash that needs to be checked also.
High rpm
High rpm's is usually caused by a bad TPS or Throttle Positioning Sensor.
Brake lights do not go
check the brake light switch that should be mounted on the metal part of the brake pedal up under the dash.
I cut the battery terminals off the cords in order
Check to see if any of the wires have a single wire running off of it to the body somewhere, or attached to a bolt on the intake somewhere. This will indicate that it's a grounded wire, which means the battery wire attached to it will be your negative wire.
Your positive will run to a bunch of other wires, and into modules and starter and alternator and other electrical products.
I hope this helps, post back if still unclear!
