I am having problems with my car not starting. I thought I was the battery had it checked at Craigen, it was fine. So now I have five different ppl telling me five different things. It could be the starter, the alternator, the fuel pump, or just the cables to my battery. I am a student and working but don't have the money to go through all these different steps. So can anyone give me any ideas to what it may be or has anyone had this problem before. THANKS! :/

Does the car crank when the key is turned to the start position or does it click, or do nothing at all.

Post back.

Then the starter is good, will it fire up with starting fluid sprayed directly in the throttle body?
