Sometimes when i start my car nothing ahppens the first time when i turn the key the second time it starts. Today it started fine and a couple minutes later it died when i came to a stop and i just restarded it. Then happened two lights in a row then didnt happen the rest of the way home. I parked the car turned it off and tried to restart it. Nothing. I try 8 more times and still nothing. The electronics like the radio are on but it didnt even try to turn over. I let it sit for 30 minutes and treied to start it and it did first time. Does anyone have any idea what is going on? I am gonna get my alternator and battery tested tomorrow morning. Thanks

I started the car and unplugged the red terminal and it still ran so i am figuring the alternator is good. I had the battery tested and it had only 230 cranking amps and tested bad so i replaced it. It ran fine on a super short test drive. But I think it has to be something else. Ill keep updating.
