Low Idle issues after alternator replacement
Hi Im new to the forum and just picked up a 2003 Nissan Maxima 6spd . Two days after I purchased it the alternator went out. I replaced the Alternator with a new one went for a test and now once the car is warm it stalls at idle or when i release the clutch and allow the rpms to drop. I tried the relearn process and got blinking SES light and seemed to be done correct but still having the idle issues. Before changing the alternator this issue was not present it drove like a champ. Any Ideas on where to go next with this?
I have read alot about this on the forum and done see why I would need to clean the throttle body etc etc if it was running cherry before changing the alternator so im at a loss please help.

Haha how did you know I got it from the zone . Checked all my grounds but maybe a bad alternator but its putting out correct volts. I have never seen a alternator cause stalling issues but its possible can you explain this theory a bit further

I tested the charging system with a midtronics battery tester and everything showed good. and yes the tester applies a load.
