Help!!! I have problem in electrical. My battery got drained. I think it's my alternator or some faulty wiring. When I have my battery recharced and tested the car, it started. But every time I remove the battery to see if the alternator is running.... It runs but you have to step on the gas pedal to make the engine cry, otherwise it will stop. HELP Me Please

Sounds to me like you need to check your alternator, should be producing around 13.5 volts to 14.5 volts on idle.

you are not supposed to disconnect the battery to check the alternator, you can damage it, with a generator no prob, but with an alt, no way!
