First off I have had ZERO problems with this car until this afternoon. This morning I drove the kids to school no problem but at 3pm I went to start it and it was turning and sounded like it was just shy of starting. I was a bit low on fuel so I added some more thinking maybe the guage is off a bit but still it would almost start. Both time it is so close to starting I'm assuming it is getting fuel. I noticed that the battery connection (The battery looks to be a pain to get to) was a bit corroded but again lots of battery power is available. The only other thing I can think of is that the weather is lightly snowy and maybe it's the cold.
Thanks for any help

Hi:
TO me, it sounds like the fuel pump isn't working. You can rent or borrow a fuel pressure gauge from most nationally recognized parts stores. All you do is connect it to a valve on the fuel rail to check for pressure.

Try that and let me know what you find.
