It's a long shot , but I could imagine that
if the alternator belt slips enough to disengage
the voltage would drop .
This could cause spark to become weak .
Or maybe fuel delivery .
Anyway , if this is the case I suspect you've got
other electrical issues , and with the alternator belt
disengaging , you now start to notice them .
