Answer
Hi Ady,

Replace the alternator. How did you determine your alternator was fine? Silly! It's dead as a door nail.  When you check an alternator or battery problem, it's easy. Start the car, disconnect the battery with everything on, a/c, radio, lights on highbeam, etc... If the car dies, replace the alternator, if it continues to run, get a battery! The reason it runs while jumped is because it's using the other cars juice to run your car. After you jump your car, it will run for awhile until the car has used up the little charge that your battery got from the jump. Let me know how this works out!
