ok, i have a 89' Grand Prix 2.6L V6, Auto. trans. anyways it was driving fine and then i let it sit for 3 days. i was sleeping most of that 3 days so my brother might have taken it out and ran the shit out of it.... he said he didnt though. when i went to drive it again there was a loud sort of hissing noise and a quiet rattling noise coming from the engine and it didnt seem to have as much power as before, alittle trouble shifting. the exhaust used to be really loud but now its fairly quiet,that might be a different problem though, not sure. well, i found out that most of the noise was from the alternator.

Could the altenator be causing the loss of power or is there something else that might be wrong?

thanks for any help.
