Re: whatts wrong here
sounds like your alternator. did you leave the jumper cables on for awhile (5-10 minutes) or did you just start it and take them right off. if you just take them off right away then you dont give the battery any time to charge and it wont stay running because just the alternator isnt enough to charge a really dead battery and run the car.
try this. 1. charge the battery with a charger or jumper cables left on for 10 minutes with running car. 2. if the car works, good. go to autozone and have them test your battery since its probably going bad. 3 if it doesnt stay running. then its probably your alternator. 4 if it runs fine but when you leave it parked the battery dies that means you have a short somewhere thats killing your battery

Re: whatts wrong here
Most likely your alternator. Auto Zone checks them for free.
