Question 1990 Century Sudden Death

Car (3.3L engine) suddenly won't start after quick stop and after normal operation.
Suspect Starter, but not sure. Car not cranking except for initial split second after turning key while boostered to another car. Started once this way but died immediately after turning lights on. Alternator less than two months old. Batttery recharged but no crank at all except when boosted and barely then. Any and all help would be appreciated.

Re: 1990 Century Sudden Death

Died when you turned on the lights.??? That means you do not have enough electrical power. Check your new alternator, battery and your battery cables. Bad cables or battery can kill an alternator very quickly by causing excessive load. Good Luck.
