What can be the problem?
The car over heated on me one day and gave me no warning, the temp gauge never showed it as hot. i made a right turn and it cut off on me. i waited a while after it cooled off and added coolant. it started and i went home. i ran a diagnostic on it and it returned no codes. i have changed the spark plugs and battery but the starter sounds like it doesn't have the power to start it. it is a z24 2.4 twin cam with the quad 4 motor.

So the battery is weak and wont make the starter work?If so first have your battery charged and tested.Make sure the battery cables are clean and tight.After you square away that a have the alternator tested.You could have a bad battery and or alternator.Thats were i would start.
