Actually a defective voltage regulator in the altenator can allow system voltage to get low enough that the engine will die.

true, but I've only seen one man capable of making a regulator work incorrectly......he is also the same man who can light a car on fire with the alternator by grounding it and putting brushes in wrong...but he'll deny it till the end...
