Hi, My nissan pulsar 89 stutters and then it shuts down.
The battery seems to run out of charge. After getting a boost, the same thing happens. Drive a little it stutters for a few seconds and then it shuts down.
Not sure where the problem is. Could someone help

Hi your problem sounds like the battery is gone and won`t take a charge. When your engine is running the alternator is supplying the electrical power to run the car ( and normally charging the battery as well ) Even though it seems strange for the battery to go suddenly, it does happen. How old is the bat. Most last about 5 years with normal driving ( batterys last longer if the car is used every day ) Anyway i hope i have been of some help to you. John (south Wales UK )
If the battery is dead I strongly suggest that you have a battery charging. Don't jump the battery while the car's battery connector is attached. This may damage the car's computer. Charging the battery can resolve the issue.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!
the most common cause of this by far is lights left on by defective switchs, these include the map lights in the visors, the glove box light due to a defective switch, the trunk light and the hood light if equipped, check it at night and look for a faint glow, the other much less common cause is the alternator has a defective diode and allows a small current to pass to ground drawing the battery down..
Have a look at the main wire that comes from the battery, sometimes they run from the battery to a conector that corodes and then you loose all the power to the fuse box, that same bad conection can cause the alternator not to charge the battery and than you replace the alternator not fixing the route cause
