mad.gif Hey guys. After droping my sister off, I was at a yield sign and was rolling in 4th gear. Well I thought I was losing power because I was at mayb 10 mph and had no power so I dropped down to 3rd gear. Well it just kept losing power and died. At first I thought I ran it out of gas, but no because I had a little over the last line. I was close to a gas station any way. Well went to get gas and gased it up and tried to crank it over and no go. So how long can my car sit before I can change the belt out? O btw today we had a wind chill of -35 degrees.

Dude - it sounds like your battery is just dead and the loss of power you felt was the alternator dieing [which is what ran the battery down]. I don't mean to act like you're stupid but you should always check the basics first. Did you try jumping the car? After you jump the car let it run with the cables still attached to the other car [running also]. Then when you take the cables off after a few minutes of this the car should slowly die again as it drains off the power from the battery.
That clicking sounds like what it does when there is no power in the battery.
If you already tried to jump it - disregard the above.

Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.
