Car Wont Start
« on: June 20, 2005, 08:24:54 PM »
I go to turn the key and theres nothing...the lights in the speedo come on but it wont turn over or click or anything. The battery isnt dead. I tried jumping it a few times and nothing, the motor turned over but wouldnt fire...except for once, its started up for a few seconds than died...im assuming since it DID start than died that im not getting gas, but why wont it turn over? battery? connections? any ideas?

thanks, Nathan
