here is my story yesterday i was driving and i noticed my radio was turning on and off by itself so i just shut the radio off.
then at a stop i feels like my car is about to die out and i pull to a light and its bogging like crazy and all the lights are dim.
i shut the car off and wait a few seconds and try to start it again. Car wont start and i hear a crazy frying noise when i turn the key.
pop the hood check the usual everything seems fine. put key back in ignition and all lights light up fine try to start again Frying noise again and everything gets dim.
let car roll backwards and pop clutch car starts. dies all the way home(car will not start unless i push start it)
go home pull code 2 o2 sensor probably unrelated....
get friend to start car while i see where sound is coming from and it is coming directly from the starter remove starter and autozone said it was bad.
gonna replace it, but why was the car dying on when its on i would thought it was the alternator???????any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Terrible One

maybe since the alternator is dead, so is the battery?

maybe the starter grounded out the circuit so the alternator could not charge the battery

they said the starter is bad and that where the noise was coming from. but why was the car shuting off?

if this is true would a new starter fix it? no one in town has a the starter in stock i have to be carless for 4-5 days

anybody else have any other thoughts?

are you sure your got the right code?
code 2 = o2 sensor
code 20= eld.
check your code again.
