Is a car alternator essential?

The alternator is what powers the electronic systems in a car. This includes the ignition system in a petrol engine, as well as the electronic fuel injection system in both modern petrol, and diesel engines. It also provides power to recharge the battery, so that power is available when the engine is not running. The battery is also required to power the electromagnets in an alternator, so that it may generate power. All lighting and accessories depend on the alternator. Although a car might run off the battery alone, it will only do so for a short time, before it goes flat.

What is wrong with a 1991 Dodge stealth with SOHC that will not turn over replaced stater ignition switch ignition relay Still won't turn over nothing but clicking?

Did you try checking or replacing the battery? Usually clicking when trying to start means dirty battery terminals or a dead battery. That's the first thing to check, before ignition switches, ignition relays, and starters; auto parts stores will check it for free. If it's dirty or corroded terminals, clean them up and try starting again. If it's dead and old, just replace it. It it's a new battery and it's dead, check your charging system (alternator, fuses, belts, etc).
