Okay, as of recent my car has been misbehaving. Last night I went to start it - it would start then stall, (I did this 3 times before I started it then revved it - idled fine. Today, was driving home, and my radio keeps cutting in and out, losing power and regaining it. I turn off the car, and go to turn it back to accessorie to play with the radio - no juice. I open the hood, and check the battery - and get back in - the car starts. But here is the clincher - I decided to see what happens if you start without the clutch in (its not supposed to) and it just starts. Now, I get alternator whine intermittently, I still have one month left of warranty so I am thinking about taking it in to be checked out - any advice guys??? thanks.
