What causes '96 VW Polo to stall after 30 min. of running with a/c and headlights on? Batt ok/ temp gauge ok?

Q: After restarting, engine revs up and down or failed to start. You need to turn the a/c and headlights off and need to rev the engine to prevent stalling.

A: You may have a weak alternator, sometimes they fail gradually. Can make the engine run rough the more electrical accessories you turn on. Have the alternator output tested, this is easy to do.
