Updates! Alternator's going to be replaced by a user on here who sells them, as soon as I get the cash ready. Unfortunately, an unexpected small repair came up with my O2 sensors... Gotta get that taken care of first. The system's disconnected currently so I don't hurt my alternator even more. Also, it does have a capacitor. I spoke with my mechanic and he said he believes my alternator was on the outs before the system, and the system was just the straw that broke the camal's back.
