when its in acc. are any lights or anything on? and it could always be a bad starter, but i would look at the starter ground.

ide say 8/10 times its the battery,but when u get the car running,take the positive post off ur battery and if it keeps running the altenater is good,,and 4 the battery u could take it 2 any autoparts store and they will test it 4 u to make sure its good,,keep us posted,,[sm=smiley20.gif]
