the car seems like it doesnt want to start, i had the alternator checked and put in a new battery, it is still the same. when i took the car to the auto store to have it checked they did so while it was running, they said i only had 2.6 amps and i should have 120, whatever that meant. i changed the battery and it still does the same, if i turn it off and try to start it again its hard if not impossible. what could be causing this. tyvm
