Got a duff aletenator at the mo, getting sorted on friday, had to bump car off today to pick a mate up and the engine was shocking, foot to the floor and would just die, then change gear and it kinda cured it, just wondering if the 2 could be connnected

it will effect the car and will eventualy stop running you need power to get the spark from the plugs also the many sensors on a modern engine and ecu will become confused.
