Push started the bitch assuming it was the battery and after letting it warm up I drove it and about half a mile it started sputtering nasty. Its the alternator right? Just double checking

My alternator was wired wrong and would not hold a charge even after changing the battery.

Car would start but sputter felt like it had no power i would gass it and it would buck felt real crappy.

Took my alt off took it to kragens to get diagnosed ended up being wasted, baught a new one got it wired correctly car ran/pulled like a champ after
