Car dies...

***Herblenny*** · 04-14-2008, 10:38 PM

I got in the car this afternoon and car wouldn't start as the battery was death..

After installing a new battery the car started fine. Drove about 4-5 miles and all the sudden, car dies. I was able to start it back up, drove down the street and as soon as I engage the clutch, put in neutral, the idle goes super low and engine dies.

I was able to drive the car home but I had to keep the idle high in order to keep the car alive. I don't understand way changing the battery would do this...

Anyone have any ideas?
