[QUOTE="Silver, post: 2088346, member: 554626"] Well, my car fired up fine just like any other day today except for now. I went out and the car will not start. When I turn the key to on position the volt guage is right on N(11-12volts) (how its always been). Well I tried to start it and the starter is tickin (selinoid). The volt meter drops to 8 volts and my lights flicker on my dash. So I jumped it and it took awhile for that to even kick in. I finally got it to start and the volt meter on my car went right to M (14.4volts) it didn't flicker, battery light didn't come on or anything for the drive I went out for (test to see if the battery just needed to be charged.) I come home shut the car off and instantly try to start it. It does the same thing. Is my battery gone or is it my altrenator? The alt was very hot to the touch, but like I said the voltmeter on my car didn't even flicker and everything seemed fine. I have to leave to bay city tommrow and this was the wrong time for this to happen. Alt or bat? [/QUOTE]
