So last night around 7 i went to start my car and nothing happened, no noise from the engine or anything. The lights, cd player and all that worked fine. Then i decided to try and start it this morning to see if it would work again. Started fine, everything seemed normal. I’m at work now and went to try and start it again around 1:30 and nothing is happening. Cd player, lights, etc still work fine. What do you think the problem is? ---

did you pop the hood to see if you were getting spark or fuel? well i guess its running fine now tho, next time it happens check if you have spark or fuel and that can help you find out whats wrong easier ---

i went out during work to test it out and it still wasnt running. Got my spare tire wrench (see whitey, there was a reason for running back to oakland!) and beat it a couple times :naughty: It turned over for like a 1/4 of a second so i was determined to get it. Beat it senseless a couple more times and it started. :bigthumb: thanks guys! ---
