Re: new alternator new battery new plug no charge

I suspect the alternator.

At 11.5v, your alternator is not charging the battery and you are running on battery voltage alone until it drops too low to keep the car running.

Here are some testing points, courtesy of Maniac Electric Motors, who build the best alternators out there. That's all they do.

Call Christian at Maniac at 972-557-5768. She is quite experienced in these things and can offer some advice. Telll her John Hoffman suggested this.

Their stock 95A alternators are only $88.00 after the core charge. Have a 2 year hassle-free warranty.
