My car does not start. I can jump uit and it will run fine but as soon as I stop the car it will not start again. As soon as I stop it won't go again.

I had the battery checked and nothing was wrong, they said the alternator was good. What I need to do now is get a battery drain test, or so I'm told. How much should it cost for a drain test, also how can I go about doing my own test if there prices are too high.

Thanks.

Just get a test light less than 15 bucks and disconnect the negative cable put test light in between-when the test light lits it means you have a short somewhere-start removing fuses the one that turns off the light is the trouble circuit that's draining the battery
