Ok update......i had checked the voltage on the battery this early this afternoon (10.5 which is low).....i checked about 1/2 hr ago and it read (10.1)....i got a boost, put the key in and turned, it started with NO hesitation at all so i run over to check the battery and it jumped to ~~13.4 V soooo the alternator has to be working since anything over 12/12.6 V is surplus to any accessories i use.....so i let it run at idle sounds perfect i check the Volts read around ~12.6......so after about 10 mins, i turn my air and radio on and it starts dropping a lil to about ~~11.4, i tap the gas pedal and the Voltage spikes up to about 13.6 immediatly so i know the alternator is supplying power to the battery after a lil bit at idle is settles down and stays in the 12.5-12.6 area....so im thinking everythin is ok so after about more then a 1/2 hr of the car being on i turn it off and have my dad stay at the battery terminal with the multimeter checking the voltage....i turn it off and go to turn it back on and SAME THING HAPPENS, just clicks, no turning over or trying to start, nothing. the battery read about 11.8-11.9 V when i tried to restart soooooo my dad said it could be my ignition coil. The ignition coil isn't charging and doesn't have enough power to start the car and when i get a boost the extra battery makes up for the lose and starts up fine but since its not charging, when i go to start again i get nothing...what do you think?????
