They said it was bad (dude said that a bad battery has a certain smell). So i got a new battery and now everything is fine, except for the fact that i waste $115 on the alternator. Thanks for the Help though guys. Now i know, and knowing is half the battle

Sell it on ebay or hold onto it, yours will probably go eventually.

is mine an alternator problem??
my car doesnt get power to the fuel pump or interior instrument panel... After a while it does start. Then today when I finally drove it it died after 2 min of running. I just replaced the main relay so thats not the problem.

I will check the battery relay .. could it be just a short in a wire that controls the start of the fuel pump and the instrument panel.. I got it started today and drove it about 5 min and it died you think its a shorty wire somewhere??
