Just won't start help please

[Luna92]

So today I was running some erons, I went in the store and when I came bak out the car would not start. I figured it was my battery cables, becaus they are a little old and worn.

so long story short, I've changed the cables and nothing. I thought maybe I had ran the battery dry, so I hook it up and bam it starts. I let it sit for a while and turn it off and start it back up and once again nothing. What could be the problem?

Could it be my starter?

Sounds more like the alternator to me, next time you jump it pull the pos cable off the batt terminal, if the alt is not recharging the system then your just runing on your batteries 12v supply and the car will die.

if you can get it started and running bring it to an auto parts store. i would call and make sure first but most of them will test your battery/starter/alternator for free.

that will tell you more than a vague description of your problem and us trying to help you with it based on little to no information.

Well I'm not sure if it's the altrenator because everything still turns on. But I'll try them starting with the battery. Thanks guys if anyone else has any other ideas feel to post

if you get the CB started with a jump then try to start it up 10-15min later and doesnt crank, then its your alternator. i told you that fool. lol.

You said battery! Lol I'll check all this week

it has to be the altrenator its not holding charge check to see if the plug is not clipped on all the way sometimes it gets far out that it looks like its on but really isnt its just not connected so the car still starts untill you stop it wont start up without a jummp....
