Okay I have been having this issue for a weeks now.

So far I have replaced Battery, Alternator, and both terminals. Also the inline fuses with these wires I replaced with a circuit breaker.

Here's what happens when I drive....if I am hitting around 20mph my volts usually stay at 13. However, as soon as I brake and start slowing down (especially at red lights) my voltage drops to the 8-9 area and my car struggles to stay alive until I hit the gas again.

Have not figured it out yet. For the time being i have been taking out my negative battery cable to get by.

What I have done for this kind of thing is get a buddy to hold a meter to measure amp draw between the positve cable (disconnected) and the battery positive terminal. Then I pull fuses until the draw goes away on the meter. Then I at least know what circuit is the problem.

Check your alternator charge wire and battery cables for corrosion. They corrode from the inside so it is hard to see. Try bending the wires and make sure they are flexible and don't make cracking noises. And make sure all the connections between battery, alternator, and ground are all tight and corrosion free.
