I have a 96 buick regal gs and it wont start. for the last month or so it would randomly shutoff if i was stopped at a light or going below 10mph..i had my battery tested and they said its fine, so im guessing thats not the problem. And when i try to jump it that doesnt work.
If its been sitting overnight itll turn on then die instantly, and if i try to start it, it sounds like its trying to turn over but it doesnt.
idk alot about cars so i dont know exactly how to describe what it does. all i know is it wont start at all.
any help would be greatly appreciated =)
 
That sounds like a bad alternator. I would take out the alternator and have autozone test it for free. You can have it rebuilt and it cost less that buying a new alternator and you can still get a warranty on it.
