Car starts hard and then runs rough, tries to cut out unless you rev the engine to above 1500 rpm's- then it may cut off or run at idle (750 rpm) but run very rough. Found that the battery needed charging and the vehicle runs good when left hooked up to the charge (on 40 amp setting) . The alternator is very old- not sure if this model ( v-6 XE ) has an external voltage regulator or not. I suspect the alternator or the battery (new less than 12 months ago) Have checked the wiring but wiring is good. Found a little oily residue in two-pronged plug on the alternator and the bolt-on / screw on wires to the alternator were secured tightly. Spark plugs were all cleaned last week trying to help run down this rough running problem. New fuel pump months ago.
Run the fault codes and check for injector problems
batteries have no set life ( that is what the warranty is for--- new batteries regularly fail at the end of the assembly line ) so if could be failing
have a load test on the battery
Have an accredited auto electrician check the output of the alternator to check it and the voltage regulator
low battery voltage will upset the ECM program

How long did the 2nd alt. last before it died? The voltage regulator is, I believe, attached to the alternator. Have u had the voltage regulator checked?
SOURCE: Very Rough Idle and sometimes cuts off while idling
sounds like bad Idle Air control valve Not Cheap

turn your key on, DO NOT TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL and start, good luck. Pumping the pedal doesn't do a thing for fuel injection. In thre days of carburetors and you had control of your own property, Pumping did a couple of things. It set the choke and added more fuel. But that was yesterday and yesterday's gone.
