It ran, just poorly, with the symptoms described above. Cant recall 100% what was checked but a battery replacement was the solution to said problem. [This was a few years ago memory is a bit rusty.]

edit: I remember giving it gas would keep the car from stalling would this have possibly rev'd a failing alternator up to working speed? [Not really my area of expertise]
