I can understand.

He reved the crap out of his motor against another car, instead of going the car stayed put due to little traction. He went to a friends house, when he came back out the car started at a high throttle speed for no reason. He checked the cables and he didn't see a problem, and when the car finally dipped back to a normal idle speed he forgot about it.

A week later, he went to the mall and when he came back out an hour later the car didn't start. He tried multiple times, and then it started. He also had the car stall out at a red light and the car didn't start either.

-----------

No idea what's wrong, just figured I'd help with explaining. However I doubt it's the alternator or battery. lol

I thought I was going to suffocate trying to read that outloud. I noticed not one period was used.

Do you hear the motor crank at all? I would try checking grounds too.
