Car starts then turns off
Cant seem to figure what is causing the problem so I thought I would turn to the experts. While leaving the barber shop yesterday I turn the car on and it ran for about 2 seconds then shut off. I started the car several times and it kept on doing the same thing. About an hour and a half later when my friend got there to pick me up I hop in the car to see if it would start and it did. I had to blip the throttle or else the rpms would drop and stall the car out. About a qauter mile from my house the car stalls and then does the same thing. Turns on then off again.
Today I start the car from a cold start and it runs, I let it run for a couple min and then go back in. A couple hours later I go back out to see if it would do what it was doing and it started like normal. I took the car for a drive down the street and everything seemed fine. I let it run for about 15min. I was told if it was the alternator that if I take the postive terminal off the battery that it would stall. So I take it off and the car keeps running. After I wash the girlfriends car I go to move my car into the garage and it does it again, turns on and then back off. Now I have just given up from frustration and cant figure out what would cause this.
Sorry for the book I just wanted to get as much detail in to help you guys get an idea of what is going on.
Thanks in advanced for any help.
