4cyl Accord idles fine, but dies when you open the throttle
2005 Accord
battery is 6 months old
idles OK, but dies when you give it gas.
supposedly when starting, it cranks slower than usual.
This is my mothers car and I haven't seen it yet... i'll check it tomorrow morning, but what should I check first besides batt and charging system?

Re: 4cyl Accord idles fine, but dies when you open the throttle
OK my pops just tested the voltage... 12v with engine off, 11.9v with engine running. For some odd reason, the batt light is not lighting up in the gauge cluster, but 12v is still way too low for a running engine.
Looks like tomorrow i'll replace alternator.
