Default My car has finally start but will shut down after 5 minutes.

In the other thread i said my car didn`t want to start but after letting the car sit some time it will start with no problem except it will shut down after 5 minutes and then won`t restart. Slow cranking or not cranking at all.

Default sounds like an electrical problem...

maybe the coil could be the culprit, if it is bad, it would heat up internally and could kill the motor,.... but then the slow crank on restart...would be a different problem.

Could be something as simple as a bad battery. Several years ago, I had kinda slow, but okay crank, but the engine ran poorly and would occassionally die. Turned out to be a bad cell in the battery. The electrical system was operating at less than 12 volts, so the sensors and computer system were screwed up. New battery fixed everything.

Where do you live cbpldc?

Thx for help guys, btw i have a feeling also that there is something wrong with a fuse and the batterie, because the gaz gauge and rpm has stop working suddenly and the wiper are slow just like when my other alternator was bad.
