Would a bad alternator make a vehicle run rough?
Alternator versus Engine Performance IssuesIn and of itself, a "bad" alternator will not effect the engine performance.That said, IF the alternator is not properly charging the battery, and the BATTERY capacity gets low enough, then the very low power can result in very low spark production at the spark plugs, which will fail to dependably ignite the fuel, AND THEN result in "rough," or no running.So, a "bad" battery itself does not cause rough running, but can lead to battery depletion which can.
