Here is my situation:

Sunday the vehicle ran great during the day and then I went to start it and it clicked like a dead battery.

I let it sit for the night because I had to leave.

Monday morning I tried to start and it was dead, so I cleaned the battery terminals and then tried to restart. It seems to have plenty of juice and it turns over fine but it did not want to start so I gave it some gas (which I never have to do) and it started up and would continue to run as long as I held down the gas pedal. As soon I let up on the pedal it would die.

Battery or Alternator? Or something else?

Thanks,
Allan
