The other night I was letting my 93 Chevy Corsica warm up to drive home from work, and after about 5 minutes the car stalled and died. I tried to restart it, but when I did so the headlights and inside lights dimmed, and the car would not turn over. I tried a few times to start the car and once or twice there was a series of clicking sounds. When I turned the key all the way off and then back on, the power seemed to come back slightly, but the car gradually started to lose power all together. I came back to it yesterday, 2 days later, and it still had some power, but it was very low, and I still couldn't start it. I had it towed to the mechanic, assuming my alternator was bad. After he looked at the car he told me I needed a new starter. My question is could a bad starter drain my battery and cause my car to die while running? And if not does that mean that my alternator or battery is bad in addition to the starter? Thanks!
