My car has been running fine, but all of a suddent it started to get dim, then the car stalled out. Now i think the starter is dead. Heres a video

And some times it just wont even turn over like that, it just clicks. And sometimes it will start after a few cranks. Thanks let me know what the problem could be

more info please... what motor is in it? clicking when a sr swap has been done means wiring is wrong somewhere.

ok

1. Starter is not dead, If it was dead your car wouldnt crank

2. Whats that bangin noise? bad video quality?

3. Pop a fresh fully charged battery in it and see how it runs, If it runs normal then its your battery was dead.. NOW if it runs fine for a while then it starts to kill the battery again...Then you have a bad Alternator in your hand.

Any more questions just go ahead and PM me.

So i pushstarted my car and it runs perfect, so it turns out that the alternator must be dead. Will a KA alternator work?

if youw ant to nkow if its your alternator or not

Get your car running, pull off the negative battery terminal to take it out of the system. If yuor car dies, its your alternator, if it continues to run, its your battery
