So I had my car running it would start fine and such, then it would barely turn over and seemed that the battery was drained so I jumped it and still not turning over. I took the battery back got another because they said it was fried, tried to start but it would barely turn over...Could this be the alt? I mean it should still start if it's being jumped right? Could the throw out bearing make it hard to turn over? I know it was going out.

my guess would be dead battary, but u got a new one correct?

This is the second battery I bought though...They are used but tested and they were good. Until put in the car...

if it starts when cold and wont when its hot most likely the ICM is bad. 20 dollar part easy as hell to put in.

FivePointOhh

either that or you have bad grounding

I was thinking maybe the alt was killing them off but, I wanted a second opinion and I don't think I drove on this second battery but went to jump it and it still wasn't giving enough juice to start. =/
