It keeps dying!

I'm having some issues with my daily it's an 86 IROC Z-28, it will start perfectly fine and run fine for a while but once I park in the school parking lot and sit there for a bit it will just shut itself off. I actually had to jump it once when it happened everything seems to be fine and I have no idea what's wrong PLEASE HELP!

Re: It keeps dying!

If you had to jump it, sounds like your battery is dying, or your alternator is not putting out at idle so the battery gets worn down. Is it an old battery?

It's a couple years old I'd say around 2 or 3
