Car won't start (well very hard)
Okay, something is draining my battery or my battery connectors are screwed, but I carry a battery booster around with me and it starts right up with the booster and shows just under 14 volts, okay but once I get it to crank (and my car has been sitting over night) it starts then dies, and does the same thing like 3 times, you have to rev it for like 30 sec to keep the idle, then every thing is fine, my a/f gauge shows rich almost all the time, just wondering if anyone had any suggestions....

that sound similair to my problem with the alternator.
It would jump start. BUt then die very quickly once the jumper cables were detatched. it seems that if the charging system is not delivering correctly it screws with the AFM and the car can't maintain Idle. I have an N/A. I was never able to get it out of the parking lot until I replaced the Alternator. Everything worked fine after that.
