Hey all,

first, I'd like to say is, I bought a new battery and alternator seems fine, and I have new plug wires. It all started when my brother put it in reverse from a coast. It died. Now it needs a jump overtime. I noticed when i take it off the jumper cables, it revs real high. Now the car wont stay running at all. You jump it, and it stays running. Idles ok. Then after a while, it decides to slowly drop idle, and die. If i put it in drive, it slowly dies. Looking under the hood when it was running i noticed I have radiator fluid leaking out of a gasket my alternator. Could the leak be the case of the car dying? Now my car is sitting at work, and I need to figure this out.

 

Coolant leaks are never good. Sounds like your upper radiator hose is bad or the seal to the thermostat.

What model do you have? A 960? New plug wires makes it not a 960.
