Alright guys a few weeks ago I had a problem where my car wouldn't start one day and then after jumping the battery and driving the car the gauges were jumping all over the place and then stopped after a few minutes of driving. I got the car home, let it sit about 10 minutes, and it wouldn't start again. I figured it was my alternator so I replaced it with one that my buddy had from a 99 civic. It started up just fine after that and I didn't have any problems until today.

Today when I was at the track the car randomly decided it didn't want to start again so I had someone push start me. I let the car run for the entire night at the track and then after I got home the car seems to want to start fine now. Is this alternator dead to, is the battery on its last leg, or is it something else?

PS: I couldn't test the first alternator that went bad because the stud that holds the power wire for the alternator broke off so i never figured out if that was the problem for sure.
