Default replace alternator?

hello everyone, basic question that i dont know the answer.

when im on a stop light, my car seems like its going to die..like there is no electic power going thru the car..is that my alternator? i just replaced my battery and starter a couple of months ago.

also, this happen to me twice, my fuel tank almost empty and then when i put gas, and i try to start the car...the car wont start. it makes a clicky-clicky noise...then i stop i look at the dashboard, and even though i dont have my emergency brake on, the light shows i do...does that have something to do with it? i wait for a minute or two and try to start the car...and then it will start. from that time on...i wont have any problems starting the car.

To vague bro. Grab a manual and do some testing. Once you have a better idea get back to us

Way to vague!
What year would help. It doesnt sound like an alternator problem.

"when im on a stop light, my car seems like its going to die" Could be low idle.

"also, this happen to me twice, my fuel tank almost empty and then when i put gas, and i try to start the car...the car wont start. it makes a clicky-clicky noise...then i stop i look at the dashboard, and even though i dont have my emergency brake on, the light shows i do...does that have something to do with it? i wait for a minute or two and try to start the car...and then it will start. from that time on...i wont have any problems starting the car."

Did this happen before replacing the starter?

When your at a light when it wants to die does it stutter??? Did you check if your E-brake is all the way down?? For the Hard Start occasionally it could be your main relay id check that out. Anyway you need to be a lil more specific.
