The belt could be slipping.
Although this happened in my old ae86, it would go off and stay off if you give it a rev and ti didnt suffer from flat batteries or anything like that.

Thing is, every 4AC I've ever had has had a crook alternator. They struggle to manage any kind of load even when they're in good order, seem to fail, plus are ugly with that nasty external regulator. It's not too hard to adapt another alt, anyways...
