i did not think it would be the charging system because i was able to drive it for a good period of time after i started it, and i thought if it was the charging system, the car would shut down once the battery was drained of its power.:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

a full charged battery can run the car for awhile all depends on how many accessories you run.i would still have alt. checked
