I have a car thats starts intermittently, had battery, alternator, and starter. All checked out fine. When the car doesn't start, I get it jumped and it'll start up for a couple a days and cuts off. Whats the problem? And How much would it cost to get fix?

When you need it jumped, does it act like the battery is low or just nothing happens?

It acts like the battery is low. I got a brand new battery yesterday too, its still does same thing and after a couple hours, the car starts.

Check and clean all battery connections, make sure the wires are not broken off inside and loose, check at all grounds make sure they are tight and clean also check the connections at the relay.

If thats not it I would try a new relay.
