Asked by marko2002 Apr 21, 2016 at 04:16 PM about the 2002 Mitsubishi Galant ES

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

i drive for 10-15 min and come to a light i press the break and the car dies
off. the car turns on right a way but i have to keep my foot slightly on the
gas to keep it from dying out when i come to a light or a stop sing. i did
check my battery and it was at 15 vlt with car on and with a\c radio full blast
light and highs, fog lights, wipers, ect, i also checked the alternator and it
was putting out 15.1 vlt. is it possible that it could be the alternator or the
fuel pump??
