you can but it wont stay running if the battery is dead
Ensure alternator is functioning properly.
security light on 1998 s10 start but cut off
A Ford 1999 Expedition engine is probably not seized if it will start and idle but will then not stay running. This could be due to a clogged fuel system, faulty injectors, faulty spark plugs or a wiring problem, or even a faulty distributor.
Sounds like a dead battery. You need the battery to start the car, but once it is running the engine runs completely off of the alternator (which also recharges the battery if the battery is still good).
2003 dodge neon that will start but will not stay running and dies after it starts?
NO! That is extremely dangerous and you could get electricuted! Just go find a place to stay until it stops raining, or stay in your car, and jump start it when it stopped raining.
You ran the battery dead. Jump the car and let it stay running for a while so it can recharge itself
