I have a problem with my 05 mazda 6i 2.3. Last week my battery light came on one day and the car was a little slow starting. A couple days later I put water in the battery (it was low), got the car started, turned on the AC and something blew. Even with a jump start the car doesn't run right now, all the warning lights come on, the headlights are very weak, the engine idles ok, but sometimes it won't rev up. If I hit the gas it stumbles, then after I let off the pedal then it revs up, it's delayed about 1.5 seconds. I checked the fuses with a flashlight and didn't see anything obvious, but then I got it to drive again back a couple blocks to my house, but it seemed to be losing acceleration again just before my house. Also, at one point the electric locks wouldn't lock, but a little while later they did.
The terminals don't look corroded, I will check better tomorrow in the daylight. It couldn't just be the battery causing all these problems could it? I am thinking maybe my alternator is fried. Any ideas?
