I agree that it could be an alternator. My brother's Rx-7 GSL had that exact problem... we got him a new alternator and boom, he was good. But get your alternator bench tested at like Advanced Auto ot Autozone first... if it's pushing nothing then that's your problem.

Also... check any vacuum hoses... I've seen cars cut off due to split or loose/disconnected vacuum hoses and shit like that. And it could be a fuel problem, who knows... I don't like to deal with fuel problems, they can be a bitch.
