Check to make sure the air filter is clean. If it's clogged it can prevent your engine from having proper air flow.

Had this happen to me on 1999 escort - turned out to be broken fuel pump. Alternatively the fuel lines could be blocked/twisted but this is unlikely to happen suddenly whilst driving.

How do you know when the alternator goes out?

If you are driving in the daytime, your car will loose power and then turn off. If you try to start it, it will not even crank. That's because once the alternator broke down, the engine was now using the power of the battery to run. And since the battery is not getting charged by the alternator, then the battery runs out of power and everything electrical in the car shuts down. If you are driving at night, your head lights will dim a lot and then your car shuts down. Try to start it and it won't even crank.
