Yeay new problem. I recently replaced the headlamp dimmer switch which was no biggy. Replaced all 4 brakes,drums,rotors, etc this past weekend. Then my battery died. It wouldn`t start in the morning after a cold night. Jumped it. Didn`t start the next morning, jumped it. Charged it the next morning for 4 hours, wouldn`t start. Tried jumping it, didn`t work. The battery gave out. Fine I say. Bought a new battery and the cars running again. However when I slow down, the battery light comes on quick and the car stalls out. If it doesn`t stall, it gets real quiet like it`ll stall then gets like a jump of power back up to idle. If I turn the car on it idles fine until i put it in gear, then it sounds like its laboring to get ready to go. When I stop it usually sounds like it`ll stall out, but then barely remains running until kicking back to idle. Suggestions on what could be going on? I checked the computer and no codes are stored.
In addition, my engine seems to get very hot very quick, and takes for ever to cool down. I just checked the collant well, and its sides were sucked in like a soda bottle thats been around a long time. The coolant level it at the normal "full cold" line, but the engine seems to not be getting cooled. Help!

it might be ur alternator
try taking it off and taking it to get tested at autozone or a place like that
if u need a new one make sure your battery is fully charged or it will kill it again
as for the cooling issue
try putting a new radiator cap on it
good luck
