Very strange question... The alternator is charging the battery. They work together. Did you replace it yourself or by a car mechanic? Is the belt OK? How do you know the alternator is bad? I'm so sorry, but this is just not enough info, I'd be very happy to help you, but I'd need a bit more info.

if it runs after using easy start there is no air in the system. There will b e a problem with the tips of the injectors and they will need replacing. Cranking speed is essential to diesel starting and I suspect that there are glo plugs or a pre heat system for the diesel that is not working properly By the way using items like easy start is the ideal way to blow a diesel engine up as they are a compression ignition engine and when the compression gets to a high enough temperature it will ignite the easy start when the piston is half way up the stroke causing the piston to bend the con rods or break crankshafts A better idea is to fix the problem correctly as it will be cheaper in the long run.

If it starts firing with easy start then it sounds like fuel is not getting to the engine! either fuel pump faulty or fuel line blocked! have you run low/out of fuel?

A scanner would give you the data signal coming from the sensor. You can also try to test the sensor with a meter. The sensor generates an ac volt signal if it is working. You may need a shop manual to get the testing procedures.

The Engine Needs To Be Lubercated!

Problem: Window Switch-that has to be tested Window Regulator Broken ? Last -unplug the window motor & put battery voltage to it in both directions, to see it it works You replace NO vehicle parts for any problem Until you learn how they work & how to test for a failed part Why Throw New Parts at good working ones !!! Have to remove the door panel That is on You Tube Video to watch

check for spark at the plugs, check for fuel pressure and volume. check for codes this is a starting place.

No idea what you need to know Why not look under there?

Scan test engine for any codes

    1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the precautions at the beginning of this section.
    2. Record the radio anti theft code data.
    3. Remove the engine from the vehicle.
    4. Remove the drive belt. Remove the power steering pump. Remove the air conditioning compressor.
    5. Remove the alternator. Remove the drive belt idler. Remove the drive belt tensioner. Remove the water pump pulley. Remove the intake manifold.
    6. Remove the connector bracket from the left cylinder head cover. Disconnect the right ignition coil connector, condenser connector and remove the bracket.
    7. Remove the left cylinder head cover retaining bolts. Remove the cylinder head cover from the engine.
    8. Remove the right cylinder head cover retaining bolts. Remove the cylinder head cover from the engine.
    9. Set the No. 1 cylinder to TDC on the compression stroke. Turn the crankshaft pulley and align its groove with the timing mark T of the lower timing chain cover.
    10. Check that the mark of the camshaft timing sprockets are in straight line positioning on the cylinder head surface. If not rotate the crankshaft 360 degrees. Do not rotate the engine counterclockwise.
    11. Remove the oil pan. Remove the crankshaft damper pulley. Remove the timing chain cover. NOTE Be careful not to damage the contact surfaces of the cylinder block, cylinder head and timing chain cover. Before removing the timing chain, mark the right and left timing chains with an identification mark based on the location of the sprocket because the identification mark on the chain for TDC can be erased.
    12. After compressing the timing chain tensioner, install a set pin. Remove the right cam to cam guide. Remove the right timing chain auto tensioner and timing chain tensioner arm.
