98 b16a swap wont hold charge
Just replaced the starter and battery and alternator tested good. I have to jump the car for it to start but if i drive it about 100yrds itll lose power and wont accelerate. Ill pull over, put in nuetral for a little bit and itll drive another 100yrds and shut off. Ill have to jump it again for it to start because itll be dead and jumping it is the only way to start it now. Any ideas why?

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Is the battery any good?
Does the alternator charge?

Got codes?
Blown fuse?

You might have a dead cell, bad bearings in the alternator, or bad wires.

Check engine and chassis grounds as well as suggestions in other responses.
