Well, your problem can be one of two. It's either the alternator or the battery. The thing he said about disconnecting the battery, is actually a little trick to see if the alternator is bad. If you disconnect the battery and the car shuts off, your alternator is bad. If you had the car running for a while and haven't left anything on that shouldn't be, you need a new battery. Batteries aren't that expensive, so that won't cost you 200 dollars. If the alternator is bad, lucky for you, you have an american car, you can purchase a rebuilt on for under 200 bucks. Good Luck.
