Is it my alternator?

Hi there,

I have been having problems the last few days with my radio shutting off randomly, and whenever I turn on my headlights.

Then last night, I was driving and it like, kinda stalled? The radio went off at that time. The Check engine came on, and when I tried to drive, there was absolutely no power and I had my foot all the way to the floor on the gas pedal and it would barely go 6 mph.

I turned it off, waited and then started it up again. It then drove okay, but it sounds funny. Could it be my alternator? Just wondering, thanks!

It does sound like something electric, I wood check all the electric cables from the alternator and battery and starter. You don't want an electric fire, incase something is loose!
