Put a voltmeter on battery. It should say something like 12 volts. Start motor and see if you have about 14.5 volts while running. If not your charging system has failed.

    Ok, but please do not give me a 2 rating if that is not it!

    Try the coil. Or coil wire. Or perhaps the cap and rotor.

    You have not really provided much info so this is just a wild *** guess.

    The other thing you might try is adding HEET additive to your fuel.

    This might sound like a stupid question but...did you check your fuel filter?

2000 Mustang v6 dies in the middle of the highway less than 2 weeks after replacing alternator?

Are you saying it died because of battery or charging system? I've seen info that says generator rebuilders have a tough time with rebuilding ford generators. It's not uncommon for them to be faulty right out of the box. What testing have you done on your battery and charging system? Any applicable trouble codes? The problem might be something unrelated to battery and charging system. I mentioned the generator because you mentioned it.

Galant wont start

Interesting,this sounds just like no output from the alternator. If the alternator is good then it has to be the cabling or connections to the battery. If you have a multimeter take a reading on the cabling then read what is actually reaching the battery posts.

Two ways the the battery was the problem:
1. It was not the right voltage battery installed.

New alternature wont charger battery

Does the alternator light come on before you start the vehicle..
If not the alternater is incorrectly connected or the globe is blown . It will not charge if the globe is faulty.
