My car wouldn't start suddenly. I got jumped, but then the car stalled again after about 5 minutes. I got jumped again and managed to get home(about 20 miles on highway). I tried to restart and nothing. Next day I gave the battery a load test and it failed. So I replaced the battery. The car started, but it will not hold a normal idle. I still suspect the alternator, but with the car running at around 2000 rpm, the batttery voltge reads where it should at about 14 volts. Any ideas before I change out the alternator.
