i ran into a problem while at lunch i was in mycar about to go to work so i flip the key and no power but the cd player and dash lights are lite, so i got a jump and when i got to work i turned off the car and tried to start it up but this time nada thing only the clicking noise constantly so i jumped again this time the motor runs a lil the at idle the car shuts off so i thought it was the alt so i got it check at a local store they said perfect condition...so im like hmmm????? fuses are all good....any idea anyone???

 

Dead battery?

 

Battery x2

 

i was looking online about that also...i guess ill go double check it....do you guy think it is even when i jump it starts rite up but when u take the jumper cords and let idle it dies??? im confused but ill check the battery

 

battery is done for

 

If you are lucky it will only be a loose battery connection.

 

battery is done 100 percent

 

I'll see ur 100 and raise u 100 more, battery is 200% dead, look into a nice optima. Its always great to find excuses to upgrade. once mine dies, ill get an optima.

 

I don't think anybody has mentioned this yet, but i think your battery might be done. 100 %.

 

In your first post it sounded like the car ran fine after you jumped it in which case it most definitely sounds like the battery. However if you are saying it won't even stay running now then it sounds more like a lose connection. Check all the battery connections first
