I made a bettwe conection to the battery and it worked but only for a couple hours of running so i took it to the toyota service place and they ended up telliong me it was the alternater. I already figured that but its good to just make sure kinda thing but there was also soemthing about the volt regulator but they didnt say anything was wrong so yea, Now im getting the Alternator rebuilt or jus repaired at a shop.

If any one els has this problem they told me it had to do with the alternater brushes when they get hot they stiffen out and dont have a good contact anymore but then when they cool down it can work so hopefuly this will fix it.

Thanks for your help Suprra_girl
