My 1994 J30 w/ 212k miles started and ran fine this morning. Came out of coffee shop - dead (the car - not me). Was able to jump start the car, but its dies immediately upon removal of the jumper cable. Advice?

You may need a new alternator and battery possibly. The charging system needs to be checked out.
