My car will not start

Welcome to 2CarPros.

First, we need to get a good battery so the starter will engage. Here is a link explaining how to charge a battery:

Once that is done, there are primarily two things that can cause a crank / no start condition, ignition spark and fuel.

Take a look through this link. It discusses the crank / no start condition and explains the most common causes, how to check, and how to fix. Do this first and let me know what you find.

Since this happened all at once, chances are you have a fuel related issue. However, to confirm, you will need to check pressure. Here are two additional links that explain how to check for spark and fuel to the engine:

Here are links that will explain how to use the basic tooling needed to check for spark:

If you don't want to go through all the testing, an easy way to test for spark and fuel is to simply see if the engine will start for a couple seconds using starting fluid. If it does, then the problem is fuel related. If it doesn't, it is most likely ignition related.

Let me know if you have other questions or need help.

Take care,

You are very welcome. You can't leave me in the dark, though. LOL What was the cause?
