Hi
so my car is dead in the water right now and I have to get to work in a couple hours
1989 mtx
Day before pre yesterday my car was driving fine.
Starting stopping driving etc..
Come night time my car battery was dead and it wouldn’t start. Had to get a jump.
Once jumped it started fine but when I went to accelerate it was like there wasn’t enough power and the battery light came on.
Jumped it again it started fine as if it never happened. I took it for a big fast long rip And it performed like a champ.
Next morning started fine drove to work worked went to leave work dead. Got it jumped started fine and then did the same thing battery light on not enough power to drive. Got it jumped again then quickly reved it high and started driving this worked great for a min or two then all the power went out no lights on dash headlights ghost car rolling down the street 1 am . Felt like I was going to get pulled over instantly
.
I made it a couple klicks down the road and then no power rolled into a gas station came to a stop janked right in the middle Took a 60$ cab accross the city home got a battery that I knew was tip top threw in it started right away. drove home with the battery light on the whole time parked went to restart.... nothing dead wtf
Could the alternator be dead? Ecu/m be going? Solenoid pooched. I will have to do some tests but has this happened to anyone?
Maybe it has and someone can shed some light on my dark and powerless problem.
Thanks a bunch in advance
Long story long
