Disconnect battery, and take the wire off the alternator and clean it
so it's nice and shiny,  then make sure when you put it back on it is
tight and making a good connection. It seems your car isn't getting
enough electrical power, doesn't seem like it's gas or anything like
that. If your volts are reading 6, then its alternator/connections. If
you run the car, put a volt meter across the battery terminals and see
what it's reading. Also, DISCONNECT your battery and clean up the
connectors on the starter, and the ones near the coil. Near the coil,
there is a connection going into the bulkhead-made up of numerous
brown wires-take it off and clean it up. I wish you luck! -----Dani B.
