Could be the alternator. Do this. If you can start the car, while its running, take off the positive terminal from the battery. If your car dies immediately, its the alternator. If your alternator is bad, you're running off straight battery. If that's not the case, check the connection between your battery and alternator. That might be loose. Lemme know how it goes.

Originally posted by jdm_inspiredI had somewhat of the same problem. Check the alternator belt. If its loose it wont charge the alternator. Mine was "filleted" said the shop. That caused mine dilemma. Check that too. Make sure the belt is in one piece and in good condition.
hmmm......never thought of that.....
thank you...I guess you're the only nice guy tonight..
