So a week or so ago I decided to try and top out the galant and see how fast she would go. I got to 150mph on a long open stretch of country road and didnt want to push it any harder. Cruise a few miles home let her cool off for 10 min and dont drive it for a week. So yesterday I try start up the car for the first time and it runs like normal at first. Then the Battery dies. Car started fine but then after running for 15 min or so in the driveway, the car died and needed to be jumped to start again. Then it will run for another 10 min or so and die again, and need to be jumped again. I Checked the alt. fuse and the clip on the alt. and they both seem fine. Can 5,500 rpm in 5th gear fry the alt. somehow? Im stuck on this one. Its a new auto zone alt, maybe 2,000 miles on it and a brand new yellow top optium battery. Just wanted to see if anyone had any opinions before I go pull the alt. to have tested in this freezing colorado cold.
Thanks
