Default sc400 just cuts out

ok, im looking to pick up a sc4 for 1g. the only issue is that the car just dies after about one minute of running fine. The car will start up fine and idle normal, but after about a minute, it just turns off. anyone know why?
the owner right now got the car at a repo auction and doesnt have the clicker to open the car, only the key stub for some reason. could that be linked? a security issue? or maybe a sensor? help!

Here, let me translate for you:

I don't know brother, but that sort of happened to my SC400 as well. It would start up, then shut off...i changed the alternator, but it continued to shut off. Later, i got a new battery and now it runs fine. Run a test on the battery to make sure though. If not, I don't know what to tell you.
