its definatly the battery.
you both have bad batteries.

 

that sounds like a battery problem to me.

 

my battery is pretty new...it work for my car but not his..

 

10 dollar free to who solve the problem first...

this how he told how it went..
he went outside to repark it ..so it started fine and he parked it in the garage then for like 2 hour he came back and started the car..it started and it idle for awhile and it slowly turned off and then it wouldnt start again..read top post for more info afterward

 

battery....agree with everyone else

 

battery/alternator.

 

^^ yeah that
i would think its the alternator

if you keep trying to start it, it just drains the battery

 

Try to get the car started and place a volt meter across the terminals with the engine at 2k rpm, it should read 13.5-14v. If not, then the alternator or wiring is bad. Check your connections to the alternator and battery first.
