car ran fine when i started it, no issues but once i left the car running it begins to die.

This burnt out the coils and hence the car would die randomly or loose power. I changed my alternator and everything works fine now. I hope this helps... sorry read that you solved the issue, I'm still sure it had to do with your alternator...

cheers

Well I just replaced the entire unit, but once I opened the old alternator the coils were black so it was definitely the alternator coil that was causing the problem

Oh you meant alternator coils. Your previous post sounded like somehow the ignition coils had gotten burned out.
