1991 Geo Metro alternator problem your alternator smoked you replaced it but it happened again if you let it idle a minute it runs fine for awhile then it loses power and overheats the alternator?
If the battery is sulfated (or otherwise faulty) to such an extent that it calls for a continuous charge, the alternator never gets a chance to switch off. With the resposibilitiy to run continuously the alternator overheats and eventually fails. Never replace a faulty alternator without also checking the battery.
