1 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 03/30/2017

I purchased the vehicle pre-owned, 55,000 miles. The car drove fine for 3 weeks and after that would shudder when speeding up. Now just three days ago, onjuly 1, 2017, my vehicle would not start at all. The alternator still has power and we have checked relays and fuses and jumped the battery but the car still will not start at all. I turn the key and it makes a clicking noise in my instrument panel and the needles on the panel start flickering. I was able to start it once but the vehicle showed that there was an engine malfunction to service now.
