So I was driving it fine all day I came home went to go back at and it would crank but would not start my "husband" put a battery on it to jump it and it started. I went to store came home next morning same thing, but this time it would start with the portable jumper. So it has not started since it sounds like it is going to start but then does not. I live in Paso county Florida in the middle of nowhere and in originally from new York so being stuck out here is crazy!
Any advise?
