I may have left my interior lights on last night since I was working on some stuff inside. Today, I had no battery. I was able to jump it and get it started but it won't keep running. It just dies.

I've had it on a charger for a few hours now and I get the same thing. Starts, will run if I keep the accelerator pressed but the minute I go down to idle it dies.

Is this just a voltage issue and when the battery is 100% I'm good to go or is there something else going on.

I just had a new idler pully and alternator installed. When its running, it looks like the alternator is charging fine.

Thanks.

Jeff

After some more searching i decided to first swap out the batter. Sure enough. That was it. Turned out the battery was over 4 years old.
