What is wrong with a Mazda 323 if the lights fade and then the car dies?

My 1989 Mazda 323 had a "fade-out" not too long ago, and then the car died. I tried "jumping" the battery with the help of some guys at a gas station and it came right back to life. I drove to a service station and they confirmed for me that my alternator had died. This could be your problem! The original alternator had lasted these 15+ years, but everything has a lifespan! Check that the v-blet is tight enough....sometimes this causes an alternator not to charge.... Yes, the same thing happened to me in rush hour, the orignal alterantor died. As with all fuel-injected cars they need a minimum volatge to operate, below 11 volts the computer and fuel pump shut down. Although I haven't had a problem with the replacment alternator on my Mazda, I did have a Honda Civic with charging problems. I added an accesory voltmeter to monitor system volatge. They are only $25.00 or so and can be pod mounted on your A pillar if you are concerned about this happening again. Cheers Malcolm
