Bad alternator. Take it in get it tested. You battery may hold a small enough charge for you to start it and drive short distances. Then the alternator only charges it a bit and the car dies.

Try the sensor "wiggle" method. Just shake each sensor under the hood until the car runs funny. That would be the faulty sensor. I had the TPS go out on my 2000 Sebring. Give it a try!

If you just had a new one put in, and the problem started right after, that's where I would look. Check the connection for the battery posts. Are the posts loose? Is it a no-maintainence battery or do you have to add water? Bring it back to the place you got the battery from and tell them what the deal is.

Also what did they say about the alternator? Did you take it out and bring it in, or did they just put a volt-meter on your battery when the car was running?
