Chevy Corvette C-4 1984
150,000 miles

I have put in many hours and dollars into the rebuild of this 1984 Corvette. I just picked it up from it's Spring 2006 Tune - Up and fluid changes. The car wouldn't start, so I had to call AAA to get a boost
everything was closed in town by that time and I drove home, hoping to build up a charge. After that I noticed a peculiar sequence. The Corvette will start on it's on around two starts and then will not start and will need a battery charge, jump. Now the corvette doesn't kick-off at all, lights radio and everthing seems to be working, on battery voltage it states it is 11.8 or something like that, but still no turn over at all. I replaced the battery last summer, alternator around two years ago etc. Do you think this is a starter problem or alternator again.

To test alternator, if you can jump the car and get her running tak the cables off and if the car turns off then replace alternator, but make sure the battery is fully charge before you put that alternator in
