My friend has a 96 SE and the car won't start. We were guessing it was the battery cause we'd jump it and it would start. But after a couple of days of not using it, it won't start again when he'd want to. I'm guessing it's the alternator but would like other factors that could be the problem.

Also, is if it is the alternator, is the alternator from a civic the same for the teggy? Just curious. Thanks for any help.
