Starter is new, alternator was rebuilt last year, battery is new from last week....



I was driving back home and I realized my battery gauge is going down very slowly, but every minute, I could see the change. Less power as it goes down....WTF?





I get home, stop the car and it wont start again, battery dead !



I recharge it, wont start, boost it with the jeep, it starts...but wont idle and dies.....



I get is started again, let it warm up while pressing the gas...all warmed up, let go the gas gently.....dies





any ideas?

I had a similar experience last week and I needed a new MAFS(Mass Air Flow Sensor).
