Now this is weird. It is my understanding that if a car will not start, but
will run after being push-started, then it is the battery or connections, and
not the alternator (unless the battery has just enough juice to run the car,
but not start it?).
The juice to run on has to come from somewhere, and if the battery is dead,
and the alternatior is dead.........divine charging?
I'd start checking at the battery and connections, and then do an output
check on the alternator last.
