I replaced with a Bosch unit. The car ran slightly better but it didn't cure the idle hunting or the stalling.

Those issues were not resolved until I replaced the Alternator.

Hi,

My alt has died and at the local part shop they show two possible alternators.

How do I tell which one is in there now? Or does it matter?

Thanks in advance.
