One day I was driving down the street and my car shuts off I get out look under the hood move the battery to the left and the car gets power again.The next day I try to leave home and the car shuts completely off again and this time when I turned one the radio it shut off faster. I have tried to replace the battery but still no go the Lights wont come on the car acts as if it has no battery at all. People tell me it could be the Alternator but its kind of wierd that it wouldnt even let the door lights come on. Ive checked all the fuses and everything looks good. So what do I do Please help (Cars been Rusting For 2 months now)

Car should be able to run without a battery assuming your alt is good. If you don't have access to a volt meter to check the voltage of the battery while the car is on you could always fire it up and pull the battery cable. If the car shuts off your alt is toast. If it stays running i'm guessing you have a short somewhere.
