When I get a jump it will start fine for about 5 minutes...few minutes later, a clicking when I turn the key, few trys later no clicking and most the power on the car is out except for the door ajar sound, few minutes later....completely dead. I took my alternator for testing once and it passed. By the way I had all the common starting problems in the past with having to wait a few minutes for it to start...turning the key over and over or putting it in neutral always solved the problem within a few minutes then my car would start fine for another month....this is the first time my power slowly dies within 5 minutes. The battery is about 3 months old. Battery connectors 5 minutes old. air filter 15 minutes old. Couldn't image this being a starter problem.

sounds like your gradually losing power at your ignition switch. It's also very possible that even though your battery is 3 months old, it's still bad.
