Car WON'T start, stalling while starting! HELP!!!
hey
i have a 98 and a few times when i tried to start the car it wont start, i turn the key and then it tries to turn over but nothing happens. usually i turn the key all the way off then try again while pumping the gas and usually by the third time of turning off and on....... it starts.....
Can someone please tell me why? This is the second time this happened in a week.
i have had the car for 15 months no accidents, no engine work ect... I have approx 85k on the dash. Help please.
Thanks

if your 98 batteries lasted until a few months ago, that's a long,long time. they would never make it that long in FL. my 01 battery lasted 4yrs, and I thought that was good.

so ok BESIDES the battery what else can it be because me and someone(he will remain nameless ) keeps debating over this situation I SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY ALSO but he said it could be the starter, or something about the gas not getting to the motor in a timely mannor and the reason he feels like its NOT the battery is because he said its cranking and not just clicking......SO to sum it up WHATELSE could it be??
Thanks

If it's cranking over normal speed and not just clicking than it's probably not the battery. could be MAF or something else fuel related...
however, I will say that when my battery was dead, when I jump started it it took way longer to start than normal because of the low voltage to ecu.
how old is the battery, and did you make sure terminals are clean and nice and tight?
