Can you drive a car without a starter motor/alternator/battery?Not all at the same time, that wouldn't work. But I can testify that the following is possible.
1. No starter motor. Not a problem, simply always park the car on a slight incline. After a week you become the master of jump starts, able to jump the car in a 3 foot space with the car barely moving.
2. No alternator. Problematic. Car runs out of juice after less than 10 mins. Cars need battery power to make a spark to ignite the engine. Not recommended.
3. No battery, works surprisingly well. You must have mastered the jump start techniques as detailed in section 1. However, you will need more room for the jump as you have to engage the clutch to make the alternator work.
