the alternator may have died and the car may have been running of the battery. try boosting it. if that wont work the battery could be shot, dead cell

ok...i jumped it and it fired up.let it run for awhile and it seemed to charge the battery.but im still gonna take the alternator and battery to have them tested.we are planning on taking her car on a trip saturday and i dont wanna chance it.her cavalier gets much better gas mileage than my tahoe..and at $3.39 a gallon thats a no brainer. so thanks alot you were alot of help.
have a great day!
