my car keeps dying out and sometimes it won't start, it is not the battery or altenator. Could it be the fuel injectors?

Info Request

When you had it jumped would the car crank over and not start or was the battery dead why you had to jump it?

the car didn't crank over and think the battery was dead we didn't check the lights or any thing we went to auto zone and had the battery tested

Answer

If you had to jump start the car, we need to fix the problem with the battery or, battery cables. If the battery and cables are good we need to isolate why the battery is not being charged. Once that problem is solved we can address any issues with the vehicle dying out on you. With out a good operating battery and charging system the vehicle will not operate properly.

say that the battery and all connections are good would you consider the fuel injector because a street mechanic told me that was the problem.

Answer

I wouldn't jump into the injectors at this point. We need to fix the battery issue first. If the battery is going dead and you have to jump start it either the battery or battery cables need to be fixed. If both of those are ok we need to look at the charging system to see why the battery is not being charged. Once this is fixed we can look at other areas if the dying problem continues.
