Good news guys. Problem is gone. Car is running strong and idling smooth. It was probably the original battery's time to go ( it was 5 years old ) and not the alternator.

The funny thing is that it remembered my seat settings but not the engine settings. LOL.

Weird though because when the old battery died, I was still able to have stereo and lights and gadgets, so it wasn't completely dead, just not able to crank over.

It didn't give any warning though. I started it and drove it just fine 30 minutes before and when I got there, it just wont start again and just died. Oh wells.

Thanks guys.
