Define "won't start" - does it crank? Does it have spark? Do you hear the fuel pumps running? If you hold a mechanic's stethoscope to the injectors can you hear them clicking as the engine is cranked? And when you say it "killed the alternator & battery" do you mean the alternator just died of natural causes (age & wear)& the battery ran down, or was there a wiring breakdown that shorted the alternator & burned it out?
