forgot to mention that lately my windows have been stalling when i try to put them up, once it took around 2 mins of back and forth to get them up. maybe this also has something to do with the sudden stop????????????

Check your altnator belt and have the altnator tested.

Is the belt still on? That happened to me too but my belt had fallen off.

My car tries to stall on me when I come to a fast stop on a regular basis anyhow though. :roll:

to check if it the alternator turn on the car let it run for a minute and then disconnect the battery. The car only needs the battery to start, after starting the alternator is powering the car.

If you alternator is good, when you disconnect your battery nothing should happen.
If the alternator is bad when you disonnect the battery the car should turn off, Which means your alternator is bad and the car is sucking your battery dry as an alternative.

Post your finds.

Eek... Yeah you're lucky you didn't burn your arm off.

Did you check your oil to see if there's anything in there? If there isn't you'd likely hear a lot of pinging and probably worse.

yea i doubt it's the oil. just take the alternator to autozone so they can check it for free-oh wait, it doesnt move right?

o by the way i used to wrestler in high school, the fastest i beat someone was like 40 sec or something like that , and it was in a higher weight class. my coach was crazy he would let anyone come wrestle so that we could beat the crap out of them, once there was a basketball team from another school and we were about to get into a fight with them, when my coach came in and told them that i could take any of them down in 30 seconds and that if i couldnt he would give them $10. good times. yeah my oil was a little low, but i am going to give autozone a try. peace

I didnt know autozone would check it, thats even better.

i took of both wires and the car still ran. If the car becomes overheated it turns off? i think maybe that my car is running hot and my themometer isnt working properly or that it still has an oil leak and i ran out of oil.
