ef to si probs

ok,i stil havent figured this out... hopefully someone can help?

the car shuts off after about 3 seconds of start up. COULD this be from a bad altenator? or batery ground/power?

Alternator would be my first guess.

Check your idle, does it drop? Or does it stay then car shuts off? Good luck.
