Car starts then dies
My boyfriend has a 1999 Ford ranger. His truck will start then immediately sputter like it is about to die. When he lays on the gas to try and get more power it continues to sputter then eventually dies and his battery gauge keeps fluctuating.
He replaced the alternator a year and a half ago and the battery was replaced almost two years ago.
He started it yesterday and it died soon after. We jumped it and he layed on the gas. It managed to stay started a few minutes then died again and would no start. Any thoughts on what to check? He thinks it is a bad battery. I think it's something more.
