Hey guys hadn't driven my car in a week or two, went to start it up and all the electronics come on, and it cranks once or twice, then nothing. Kept doing this and never got it running. Any ideas what the problem could be?

Could be the battery, you need a lot of cranking power to get the car started. Seems to be a common symptom when our cars sit for extended periods of time. Check that first.

call roadside have them jump it. If it still doesn't start the roadside assistance personnel are real techs so they can give you a good idea. Good luck.

Check battery. Higher compression motor requires more cranking power as stated above. Mine would have a low battery if I didnt drive it for awhile. Check the battery and let us know!

I'm assuming that, since this thread is about a week old, you've found the solution?

I would also assume it was the battery, because, if it was the CPS, it would continue to crank without starting. The low battery would poop out quickly.

Give us an update, please.

Will do when I have time, the car sits in a garage, and its finals week. I'm taking it to a shop tomorrow.


Sorry for no update, been way too busy lately, and the lack of need for a car this week means this had to go on hold.

Hey guys update for you, it was a bad cell in the battery, battery is being replaced as we speak.
