Car did not start from jumping it at all, acted the same. Even acted the same when put on my 50a battery charger on engine start settings.

Can't be the timing belt because there isnt one. I've got my money on a short somewhere, just weird i happened on a perfectly smooth road going 15 mph

Check your main fuses in the engine compartment. There arent too many electrical components that will just stop the car all together. If your fuses check out test for spark at one of the plugs...

do your hear the fuel pump kick in when you turn the key ?

3 questions.. when it died did it sputter almost like it wasnt getting gas and then it fell on its face and will not turn over now? di you getting a cel? and last is it cranking and not starting or does the starter not crank/engage...

I'll test fuses out tomorrow, its dark out tonight.

Doubt its the fuel pump and I can't check spark plugs since my engine wont turn over.

Honestly I'm not sure how it died, I just looked down and seen my rpm gauge was at zero. Didnt feel any sputter. No CEI, and the starter engages but can't turn the engine over which made it seem like a low battery.

The problem with low battery theory is that your car will run without the battery. Your alternator is what keeps the car running.

But if it was alternator, the jump start should have gotten it at least started. (assuming decent cables).

In the rare event that you alternator/battery and starter all failed at the same time would just be near impossible (buy a lotto ticket if this is the case).

The fact that it wont even turn over with a jump start is concerning.

Could be a bad ignition switch.

So with a charged battery the car will start and run, but only for a short time? Check the alt bro, you may have just bought a new battery for no reason. :ehh:

I wish it were that simple, it simply wont start at all! Been looking for a good excuse for a new alt :pardon:

i didnt mean it was a fuel pump i just asked if acted/felt like it wasnt getting gas.. i ask this cuz one of the coils might be cracked or toasted and its grounding out on the motor.. if so it wont run or start or nothing.. it would be grounding out and shutting down the electrical system.. when ive diagnosed this prob before most people will say it was running fine and just fell on its face like it wasnt getting gas
