HELPPPP!!! So basically one day earlier this week I was driving it and it just died completely and it wouldn’t start back up so I tried jumping it and it started all the lights were on while the jumper cables were connected but about 5 minutes after taking them off the car died again and wouldn’t start or even crank when I turned the key it would just make a clicking sound super fast all the lights were off including stereo and everything, had to tow it to the shop the thought it was a bad alternator but it’s not a bad alternator just had the battery replaced earlier this week as well. I’m truly stumped and don’t know what it can be.

Did you check or test the starter, could be cam sensor, could be alot of things. Nobody can diagnose a car from behind a computer

But my internet mechanics crystal ball says the car has herpes

With no codes, you're left searching blindly. I suggest starting by checking and cleaning all grounds and battery terminals.

Starts with aux power, but died under it's own charging system. Those symptoms indicate a bad alternator or the alternator isn't charging(fuse/wiring)
There wouldn't be any codes because the battery dying reset the codes

figi

exactly, thank you for your help cars in the shop now!

My 04 350z is having trouble starting. Keeps turning and turning til it almost runs the battery dead and then if i fan the gas a little itll end up backfiring a little and finally starting.

Was there a question in here that I missed, or is it just a short story?
