my saxo vts keeps cutting out at high revs,my eml is on and i checked this on the diagnostic which tells me its the lamba sensor after the cat.I have a decat pipe on it so would this cause the light to come on and would this cause the car to cut out?i also have a feeling it could be the alternator as after 4000 revs the battery light flashes until i ease of the throttle,i have checked alternator with the volt meter and its charging at 13v.....but could the high revs put strain on the alternator and then cause the car to cut out?
anyone got any idea?

if the alternator stopped working it would take a while for it to cut out as it would still run off the battery

my alternator packed in on my astra and didnt realise untill my wipers slowed down then the cd player cut out then the fuel, temp gauges stoped working then eventually cut out but probably ran for a while before that.
