That is one of the most asked questions in car talk overall. Get your battery tested and your alternator. Make sure your cables aren't corroded and the ground cable is mounted to the frame/engine and no corrosion there.

This has been posted dozens of times in all car forums FYI. I know it seems like you have something unique, but it's common.

People are going to tell you knowledge base and all that because you have only made this one post and once your car is fixed you'll be gone. Get on a PC and use the search bar, "car cranks won't start" or google it for that matter.

Good luck and welcome to TGC

thank you. one more thing i left out is when it tries to die on me while driving i give it gas but it would only go to 2000 rpms then die. also it wouldnt die while on park only while driving.
