I have a 1990 Volvo that won't start or stay running unless the battery is hooked up to an external power?

I have a 1990 Volvo that won't start unless the battery is hooked up to an external power source. The strange thing is that the battery is new and it has a charge (It was hooked up to a battery charger all night and gives off a strong spark). The second that the jumper cables are removed the car stalls out. It has new spark plugs, a new ignition coil, new wires and a new battery. Any ideas?|||Get your alternator checked.|||Check the connections to the battery terminals - when you connect jump leads, they go directly to the outside of the clamps which are connected to your car's battery leads.


If the inside of the clamps isn't making a good connection, the power from your battery won't get through, so as soon as you remove the jump leads you lose all power.|||maybe a alternator
