Gussie,

If the car runs fine after the jump then I would say that the alternator is fine and the battery is bad (is not receiving a charge, or the alternator is fine and the charge is not reaching the battery), but if your son drives the car and the car dies after driving a while, then it is probably the alternator. The alternator can only charge the battery and provide eletricity to run the engine while the engine is running.

I would start there and determine what the senario is, and please post back with additional information as there are other possible solutions, but these are the most common.

Mike
