Alternator, start up problem.
So I have an 08 TL,which I love sooo much (not type S) it has about 137k miles on it, all stock (sadly) and ever since i'd say about a month ago, it's been making this rattling noise when I start it up, it sometimes doesn't even start up due to its bad battery and alternator, i have to manually take off the switch over night and re-connect it to the car for the battery to work. What my problem is, how do i fix it and what is it? I'm guessing its the alternator or something to do with the timing belt. I dont know much about cars so sorry if i sound like a newbie, even though i am
Hope you guys can help, thanks!

So on the times you say it wont start up what is it doing. When you turn the key over what do you hear if anything? Is any power on in the car when it doesn't start? Is it trying to turn over or is the engine not making any kind of noises? If you could explain a little better it would make it easier to narrow down your problem. I had a similar issue and may have some input.I know the feeling of not being able to drive your car.. IT SUCKS!
