Laughingboy 0 Posted February 28, 2007 Check the lead between the battery to starter and then to the alternator as a start, mine was rotten to hell and caused similar problems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vdubCorrado 0 Posted February 28, 2007 alternator... same thing happened with my red rado the first time i owned it... the battery is dead from the alternator not charging the battery and when you jump start it your car is getting power from the other car. when you disconnect the cables your car should be charged by the alternator, and since it is not the car tried to keep running by using the power form the battery. since that is also dead the car will not keep running and die usually immediately after disconnecting the jumper cables...
