Are you trying to find it inside the engine bay or looking for somewhere to buy one?
To find it on the vehicle stand in front of the vehicle with the belts and pulleys nearest to you. The alternator is positioned low down on the left side of the engine. It will be under the power steering pump. It should be the lowest item the auxillary belt goes around on that side of the engine.
To buy an alternator, most good auto part suppliers can get you one. All you usually need is your vehicle details so they can source the correct one for that engine. There are also plenty of good online stores that can supply one for you.

FIRST TRY TO SEE IF THE FUSE AND RELAY ARE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IF THEY CHECK OUT THEN CHECK FOR SPARK AT EACH ONE OF THE SPARK PLUGS. IF YOU ARE GETTING SPARK THEN I WOULD REPLACE THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. THIS DEVICE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OPENING INJECTORS AND SPARK PULSE THROUGH THE COMPUTER. HOPE THIS HELPS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW. BEST OF LUCK

IT SOUNDS LIKE THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. OR IT MAY HAVE AN EXCESS OF CARBON ON THE THROTTLE PLATE AND BORE. REMOVE THE AIR INDUCTION HOSE GOING TO THE THROTTLE BODY AND SPRAY IT ON THE INSIDE WITH CARB AND CHOKE CLEANER, WHILE ABSORBING THE FLUID WITH A CLOTH RAG. PAPER RAGS COME APART, AND GET SUCKED INTO THE BODY AND CAUSE DAMAGE. AN OLD TOOTHBRUSH WORKS WELL AT DISLODGING THE CARBON. IF THE CLEANING DOESN'T HELP, THEN REPLACE THE T.P.S.. HOPE THIS HELPS. BEST OF LUCK.THANK YOU FOR AN HONEST RATING AND FOR USING FIX-YA. PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED.

Disconnect the battery - both positive and negative terminals and remove battery from holder (better access that way). From underneath - remove the plastic shield underneath the front of the car. It is held on by a few bolts. Remove the upper radiator hose (some coolant will drain out). Also free the cable from the support bracket on the top of the platic fan housing. There is an overflow hose that is also clipped to the fan housing unlcip the hose and move it out of the way. From underneath, push in on the clips and the lower half of the fan housing will come out of the bottom. From the top - remove the two bolts holding the upper part of the fan housing and you should be able to work it out from the top. You should now have better visibility and access to the alternator. Loosen the belt tensioner (from below) and remove the belt. There are two mounting bolts on the alternator, a long one through the alternator and a second on the "dog ear" of the alternator. Once the alternator is free - you can get at the battery cable post and the other wires. The wiring harness can be removed by pressing in on the locking clip. Most difficult is the wiring harness support bracket. A short 10mm wrench can get to it. The alternator is now free but will have to be manipulated forward so that it sits below the fan. Once there - you can reach down from the top, and pull the alternator into the larger gap between the fan blades. While rotating the fan, bring the alternator around with it to the top and it will come out. To reinstall -- do everything in reverse. I recommend replacing the belt so you don;t have to do this again.
