SOMeOne On here has to know what happened....

My car was up on jackstands for around 4 months. I just got her back on the road.. driving great... I was driving in nuetral around 30 mph and my car stalled... i went to start it back up and it clicked as if the battery was dead but it turned back on real fast... AGAIN i was coming to a stop the car stalled... but this time won't start back up... tried jumping it nothing happened?

What's going on? Feedback i've gotten so far.. .
1. Battery is dead-dieing
2. Alternator
3. Exhaust leak???
4. Starter

i'm really not sure.
I tested the battery.. it was alright i'm confused. Any suggestions?

 

Hmm...
I need more information as to what happens when you try to start it.

 

do you hear a clicking sound when u try to start it? btw where in pa are you?

 

sounds liek the battery terminals may be a little loose. Try tightening them. Also, when the lights went out and came back on... was it pretty dim? or just like normal?

 

i think we can rule out the exhaust leak

 

How did you "test" the battery? When it stalls, is the engine under any kind of load (braking, turning the steering wheel w/ power steering, etc.)?

 

The alternator takes over for the battery once the car is started. Check the alternator by starting the car then removing the negative cable from the battery. If the car dies then you need a new alternator. I have a spare alternator if in fact you do need one. PM me if that happens to be the case.

 

Ok I dunno how the hell I was logged in as RX7Girl or whatever but that last reply was by me. So don't PM RX7Girl cause I'm not even sure if she exists. But if you do need an alternator then PM me.

 

u using a public computer?

 

Nope, I'm at home and it actually said that I was logged in as RX7girl. I PMed her and she really does exist but she just registered today. I don't know how I got logged in as her but it's all good now.

 

damn i was about to say rx7girl will you marry me... any girl that even knows how to test an alternator much less makes a name as rx7girl is the one i will fall in love with.... just hope my girl doesnt hear me say that

 

Yeah I know what you mean. I wish I had a girl that new more about my rex than I did. But I don't think that's possible.

 

Russ i'm in doylestown area, THanks guys, i figured it out.

 

What ended up being the problem?

 

I needed new SPark PluGs! ha Runs better than ever.
