1996 Caddy Fuel Pump

I am new to this forum and am not mechanically knowledgeable.

Bought a 96 Caddy 1 month ago seemed to be running very good until the other day when engine just quit while driving. Started up about a minute later. Next day did the same thing then never started. I did notice just turning the key to the on position battery reads 10.4V.
Can someone please advise on what to do?

Thanks
Bill

Re: 1996 Caddy Fuel Pump

Didn't start, or didn't crank? Makes a difference in diagnostics. 10.4 volts sounds like either a dead cell in the battery, or it isn't charging (bad alternator).

get a volt meter usually 10 bucks or so and take a reading at the battery while car is off if it is below 12 have battery checke out then start the car and disconnect the positive cable if the car dies then the altenator is bad
