Hey guys, i just need some advice/help on an issue with my car.

About 3 days ago on the way to work in the morning, i had been driving for about 10 minutes and was on the freeway.

I was doing about 100 in a 110 zone. The car felt like it breifly lost acceleration for about a second, and the feeling was like i had hit the brakes.... After about a second i got acceleration back.

I pulled over the car checked under the hood but couldnt see anything out of the ordinary.... Rev'd the car a few times just to check, didnt notice anything strange so i took off again.... Had the music turned off the whole way to work which was about another 30 minute drive, i couldnt hear anything wrong with the car and it didnt do it again....

Now this morning on the way to work i had been driving for about 25 minutes, was doing about 70km/h when it happened again, car felt like it lost power, didnt accelerate and then the car back fired.... This most likely happend the first time but becuase i had my music up i didnt hear it.

The car did this about 2 more times within the next 15 minutes, once when i was doing about 10km/h, i had the car stopped at an intersection, turned the corner and then slowly moved forward to some red lights. Then the next time i was doing about 20km/h, when i felt the power loss i got my foot of the accelerator and the car didnt backfire this time.

Anyone got some suggestions as to what could be causing this or what i might be able to quickly check out, i have to drive home from work tonight which will take me about 50 minutes. I dont want the car to die on the way home.

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
