That's the thing, I don't know. It's throwing an EGR code, but when it dies the engine won't even turn over. When I jump it, it starts right up just fine.. then dies about 30 min later. It's got a ~2 year old battery with like 5,000 miles on it so I doubt that's the problem.

Well, I don't want to say that then have somebody replace the alternator and it still not run. I'm just trying to be honest

Understood, when the car dies, do you get any lights or does it just lose all power all at once?

Tom

Ricochet · #10 12-15-2008, 07:57 PM

It starts running really rough like it's getting bad spark, then the idiot lights all come on real dim when it dies. Everything points to the alternator, but the EGR code throws me off...

TomsSVX · #11 12-15-2008, 08:06 PM

yea def. sounds like thats whats happening... After that, can the car turn over under its own power or does it need a jump again??

Tom

Ricochet · #12 12-15-2008, 09:16 PM

Needs jumped. Doesn't turn over, click, or anything. The seatbelts struggle to move and stop half way sometimes, hehe

TomsSVX · #13 12-15-2008, 09:29 PM

well, you may be running the batt totally dry w/o the alternator but it could also be an electrical fault... try and have the alternator tested along with the battery at a local advanve or pep-boys... they usually test them for free
