air flow meter, air filter, fuel filter, fuel pressure reg, or possible timing issue. they are the basics. id try them first. ---------- Post added 05-01-12 at 16:45 ---------- also alternator shouldn't have anything to do with it

AFM. Happened to me 2 weeks ago. If you remove the AFM you will find the thin piano wire within is broken. Computer sends car into "limp home mode".
