Just replaced alternator on 98 Taurus Sdn 3.0 L SOHC....

And the damned thing still won't start. It's got a charge in the battery, The windows and all other accessories still work. But, you turn the key in the ignition and bupkis. The car experts at AutoZone assured me that it had to be the alternator, since before it died, if I tromped on the accelerator it would almost stall out and the charge light would come on.



Only things I can think of are either the fuel filter is clogged od the starter is toast, although there's no solenoid click.



Any ideas short of towing it out onto the tank gunnery range and letting them have it?



Semper Fi.

Car experts? Autozone? Ha.

Does the engine crank at all? I don't know what "bupkis" means.

Rock.

Thank you. You've at least given me a starting point. And where there's hope...
