My alternator belt failed this afternoon while driving in the heat. I had spare belts, but was only about ten miles from home and figured I would try to go for it. I turned off the A/C and the fan to lessen the drain off the battery. The car ran fine. In fact, better than fine. I made it home fine.

I've noticed during the last few months that the car tends to back off somewhat noticeably when I take my foot off the accelerator. Haven't had time to consider what the cause may be.

Funny thing is that with the alternator not drawing off the engine the car did not back off but coasted SMOOTH when I pulled off the gas. Funny huh? It might be my imagination, but I don't think so.
