1.) get in your car.
2.) pop your hood
3.) step out of car
4.) pop hood
5.) locate battery
6.) check the cables to see if they are tight.
7.) if cables are loose see 9. if cables are tight see 8.
8.) search the forum for common starting issues, and monitor this thread
9.) grab your 10mm wrench or socket and tigthen those bad larries down.


Also check to make sure your battery terminals are clean and sexy. if they are all coroded and covered in shit then that could help cause it. A loose battery cable or loose battery cable connection ( the cable itself is falling apart or has a break) can cause lots of problems. check it for continuity etc and start from there.

i am moving this to engine issues until its resolved..once resolved i will move where i feel necessary for it to be.

take the battery cables off and clean up the terminals on the battery and the cables itself, reattach the cables and try again
