Yes, a faulty alternator can cause your Suzuki Cultus to stall o r lose power, particularly if it is not supplying enough electrical power to keep the engine running.

How It Affects the Car: The alternator generates electrical power for the car’s ignition system, fuel system, and other electrical components. If it stops functioning properly, the car may lose electrical power, which can result in stalling o r a complete loss of engine power.
Battery Drain: Without a properly functioning alternator, the battery will eventually lose its charge, and when the battery power gets too low, the engine may shut off.
Solution:

Test the Alternator: If your car is stalling o r losing power, its crucial to have the alternator tested. A professional mechanic can check if the alternator is producing the necessary electrical power.
Replace the Alternator: If the alternator is found to be faulty, it will need to be replaced to restore proper electrical power to the engine and prevent further stalling.
