hey everyone, i was wondering if you could help me figure out whats wrong with my car.
my car died while i was driving. when i turned the key, i hear click but it won't crank. my alarm went crazy and i couldn't shut if off with the remote, i had to unplug the alarm. power locks/keyless entry was all screwed up too. tried boosting it, but didn't work. then after awhile, i plugged alarm back in and it started up.
i was able to drive a few times with no problems. then it happened again today. couldn't start the car, would just hear click. this time i was able to boost it but then it would just die again in about a minute. again the alarm goes crazy. i couldn't get it started this time.
i assume it one of the following problems:
-distributor (friend told me this had something to do with cruise control so i tested my cruise control it it doesn't work)
-messed up electrical from alarm (starter kill)
-starter
-alternator (i just had this rebuilt about 2 months ago, but could have been a shitty job)
any suggestions to what the problem would be and suggestions on how i can test it? before this i never once had a problem. thanks everyone in advance!
