    engine starts but dies soon after...

    back story

    battery died a few weeks back, jumped my car, runs fine , then the weather dropped to between 30-60 degrees last week, car was starting rough..

    today i go to start and it didnt start, just clicked like a machine gun..

    jumped it again, ran weak, idle at around 350-400 rpms

    went to autozone they did the test, everything was fine except my battery..

    got new one it started fine, except idle at 500 rpms, started real quick.. drove around for a while.. let the car sit for about 2 hours

    went to start it a few mins ago, starts up fine, then dies about 3 seconds later, even if i give it gas.

    on a mil base so not much i can do in the dorm parking lots.
