I listened to music in my car for approx. an hour while waiting for an apt...my car died.. I asked someone to jump me...the guy nicely jumped my vehicle but battery would not jump due to sever corrosion around cables....the gentlemen cleaned the cables, re tried and the car started although was idling very low and engine shaking... I drove off and a half a mile down the road when going pretty slow the car died again. is it possible my car battery is just completely dead and did not have voltage to charge up alternator??? or does it sound more like its the alternator. battery is about 3-4 years old and has died in the past until cables were clean with baking soda and toothbrush... I know I can get them tested but it died 35 miles away from my house and i really have to way out there or know anyone to just check the battery or alternator...what is your opinion???

Sounds like it might be either the fuel filter or the fuel pump, cause if you ran the tank down, you probably had sludge in the bottom of the tank that you sucked into the engine, you can try using a fuel system cleaner, you may have sucked sludge into the injectors running it, Zmax sells a fuel system cleaner, or there is one called RUN RIGHT, I would try putting some of that in letting it sit a few min then after it sat a few to soak in and break down the sludge, then start the car up, kick your idle up to around 1500 RPM do not go higher then that cause you will damage the engine, try that and see if that works for you, if not then I is probably the fuel pump or filter.
hope this helps.

The main problem could be a well known cobalt ignition issue. check all fuses, wires, and connections if you've worked on cars before and call to see if you still have any warranty left. This should be handled by a chevy dealer or chevy trained mechanic...to isolate the issue fast and avoid repeat visits to get er done.

it sounds like you have blown fuse to the Alternator.. I don't know what car you are talking about but they charging systems vary.. But if alternator isn't getting all the power it needs it won't charge. this should be checked.
good luck

Agreed, you can do one of two things. Replace the alternator, or get some new brushes and try out your soldering skills. Good luck.
