I looked at the fuses changed it and still same when have jump leads on it run's fine minute i take them off the car dies?? think i may just go buy a new altanator?

Was the fuse you changed blew? if so check it again to see if there is a fault somewhere thats causing it.

It does sound very like the altenator from that post.

Yeah thats what im starting to think is it just a connector thats disconnected or something, i dont think its the batt cause the same thing was happening with the old one! and altanator and so on i think im going to have to get someone to come out and help me cause my head is melted.. :(

This is a good one now alright!! So with a new battery, altenator and altenator fuse the car is still stalling after a little idling.

Has the battery voltage improved any with the new altenator, running and not running?

Sorry i lost this post, it turned out that a wire in the loom had broken which wasnt giving the altanator any power.. i left it to a garage and this is what they had told me..
