My 2000 Sunfire with 91,000 miles just quick working. The car will not turn over I jumped it to see if the batt was dead and got it running drove it around and was fine. Got home and turned it off and it would not start at all. All fuses are fine. People have said it is a lose alternator connection or a bad battery Any help is welcome and needed. Thanks
