your alternator is fine. if it failed and your car was on batery power when it died everything would be dead. your starter is fine.., it's still cranking. the fuel pump fuse may have gone ( number 15 I believe) and that's the same fix, but if it (the fuel pump) had failed it would have been a whining sputering death.
Get the alternator tested for sure. My gurl had the same problem with her sunfire, lights dimmed and radio turned off was well as all power to the car. Turned out that the alternator was toast

might be an intermittent crank sensor problem. check codes. it should still store a code even if the light isn't on, assuming you didn't disconnect the battery or it didn't clear itself. check for fuel pressure, rpm signal, and codes. good luck.

there are 2 fuel pump relays under your dash. swap them out with identical ones like the horn or fog light relays. does your door chime work? make sure every connector is plugged in in your fuse panel. and check your fuel pump connections at the tank.

i didn't disconnect the battery yet and i didn't check for codes i don't have a way to do it plus no engine check light, i'll start by checking the fuses after work
