so every time you jump start the car the motor dies in 2-4 minutes?..

Check to see if your alternator is putting out the proper voltage.

Yup, you're not getting charge to the battery, and your battery's dead.

Make sure your 7.5a "charge" fuse is good. Also make sure the alternator's hooked up to the fuse box (there's two connections, one has two huge wires, one has 3 small wires).

Replace alternator with one that works / thread

i think i know what your talking bout the 2 connectors that hook up straight to the + terminal and one to the fusebox right? the one that hooks up to the fusebox is held down by that golden nut correct? cause if so i think thats what im missing.
