hi this might be a stupid question but im not sure. i was woundering if my alternator would have anything to do with my car starting hard? its been sitting for a couple weeks and when i went to start it the other day the battery was drained so i jumped it and let it run for a couple mins shut it off and it started right back up so i shut it off came back a couple hrs later and it was drained agian. also i noticed since ive owned the car that when i start it it starts kind of hard like dosent want to turn over but it always did. i have a general knowledge of how stuff works in an engine and every thing im just not positive wether or not the alternator could b the solution for both my problems or even one at that lol.
