today i was driving home on the hwy and my engine started to died... so i put it back in 5'th and let the clutch out to get it started again.. it started back up for a few seconds and then shut off again.. i have full power (ex. radio, sunroof, pwr windows etc) but it wont start on its own and when i get a jump start it starts and then shortly shuts off again. I had the car towed to ford and i was woundering if ne body had ne ideas of y its doing it? I personally think it could be the alternator b/c not but a week ago i went and had my battery tested and it was good!

got ne ideas

bad fuel pump. battery connection, bad spark plugs. could be any of those. could be alternator but unless you have up graded stereo and lights,etc. it shouldnt be that.

when u try to start ur car is there any electricity? it could be the battery connection is loose, did u install anything recently in ur car mayb that could be the problem.

does the car choke, how about idle? is it normal? any engine lights come up?

well i talked to ford today, and it was the alternator..fried he said. Its probalby b/c of the battery termal wires so the replaced the battery termanal wires and alternator....free of charge!
