I have a 1997 mazda protege and everytime i start it up and go forward 10-15 feet, it turns itself off and the engine light comes on. it does this when i shift it into reverse too. also if i sit too long at a stop sign it will quit on me. but every time it quits, i can put it in park and start it up again. can any one help?

It's not your alternator! I'd say your car has some engine fault Unfortunately, you'll need to take to a Mazda dealer or maybe somewhere like Autozone and have them read the code.

I'm also saying the alternator might be bad. if you can, take it off, take it to Advance Auto and have them check it to see if it is bad or not.

Sounds like your alternator is bad.
