    What lights show up on the dash? Anything that blinks? How about getting the car scanned? Get a ride to Autozone or something and see if they'll rent out one of their scanners.

    It shows the battery light the little one with the key people are saying it could be my alternator cuz my battery dies quick and before the problem my car started but it sounded like he battery was too low and I push started my car and it worked fine so now I try the jump start it and it starts but it turns right off...

    If the light with the key is coming on, that means your immobilizer has triggered, which is keeping you from starting the car.

    If you push start the car and it STAYS running, then it's not the IMMO.
