Car will not start. Able to turn over on jump and will die a block later after.

What is your question?

All dash lights come on. Car sputters and chugs. Will not accelerate. Just replaced battery 10/2013. Was running fine until it suddenly happened. No other warning signs or issues.

Alternator problem!

That is what i was afraid of. It was just all so sudden. Drove my kid to practice. Parked. Came out an hour later and nothing. :(

Things can happen in a hurry!... Have the charging system tested but I strongly suspect the alternator....

Voltage regulator failure. Check voltage at battery terminals with car running. If in excess of 15V computer will start to protect systems by shutting them down. Repair by replacing alternator.
