I have a jeep compass 2007. Since I bought it the engine light keeps going on and off I never had any problems always changed the oil on time.
This past month the car does not start when I turn the key it makes a repetitive click sound and a burned tire kind of smell. I changed the battery thinking that was the reason but I still can't start the car right away. I wait for a while and try to turn it on and then it works.
Please please help me because I can’t afford to take it to the mechanic.

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis, finding out what's going on.

Go to Autozone or Advance Auto and get scanned free
