You might take a second to relax and try typing that again. I really want to help but I honestly can't figure out what happened.

sam514

the actual problem is the car starts and runs for only 2 or 4 sec then shutsoff
i was trying to explain what hapened before it starting doing this

Din

boost it, then keep give it about 2500 rpms for a while to let the battery charge itself a little bit.

Gunnar

What's the booster you're talking about? Like a battery charger?

vredniykot

^^ yeah probably batt charger, but it sounds like dead alt/alt fuse?

try to charge/boost it for longer period of time and see if it will stay running longer, if so then it's def an alt gone south

sam514

yes just like this one

sam514

ok i will try that, but i doubt that the alt its a rebuilt since 2 months ago
plus if it was the alt wouldnt the battery light come on???

vredniykot

i had alt go out twice on me, first time batt light came on second time it didn't

you might have something else going on, were you doing any repairs or anything recently?

hybridrift

not necessarily.

why was it on the 'booster' in the first place? and why is it getting towed. Give us more information and we can better assist you.

sam514

the reason why it was on the boos is battery was dead, the car has not moved for a while because the rear subframed broke, and i was towing it to lexus

sam514

could this have anything to do with the gas pump???

Gunnar

I suppose you could try putting a new battery in and seeing if that worked. I'd take the alternator back off and have it checked at an Advance Auto Parts.

My car had a problem with the nut on the power wire backing itself out and I'd lose charge, so I locktite'd it with two nuts and haven't had a problem since. And I put a brand new battery in as well.

sam514

im gonna try that
but one thing still wories me, the first time it stolled i went to put the booster pack on the batery and the car started by itself as soon as the bosster pack was on the batery pole what could do that??????

vredniykot

a ghost

i have a feeling you're not telling something

you got something going on with electrical system
