Hi:> I just changed the alternator a few months ago but last week my car> didnВ’t start and when I turn the key it would make a weird hissing> sound but the radio etc would work. Half an hour later it worked by> itself. A few days ago I left my lights on and my battery was dead and> I jumpstarted it and it seemed fine but when I tried to drive it a few> hours later it wouldnВ’t work, no sound. And yesterday it made the> hissing sound again­ I am very upset. It is a 93 Geo and the battery> is a lso new. Any ideas? Or do you know someone around Boston, MA that> would figure it out without ripping me off?> Thank you­>
