1998 Honda Accord 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a 98 Honda Accord with the V6. When I try to start it, it usually clicks a few times then turns over, but once its running it runs for about two minutes then cuts off. If it manages to run and I roll the windows down it cuts off. I was wondering if this is an Alternator problem or something else. Thanks for looking.

Have the charging system tested, both battery and alternator. You can this done at most auto parts stores for free.

Could also be an ignition switch or relay.

Usually wen the alt. Is bad the "batt" and "brake" light will illuminate on the IP.
