Car Starting Problems
Alright, I need some help here. For the past couple of weeks, my car has been extremely hard to start. All of the dome lights come on and the battery connections seem to be fine. However, it takes many, many, MANY turns of the key to get the car started. :banghead: Oh, and the engine doesn't turn over at all when I turn the key.
What should I be looking at? And how hard is it to fix something like this?
Thanks! :cheers:

Take the battery out and have it tested at a parts store.
If it turns over and does not start, check the plugs or injectors.
If you turn the key and the dash lights up but no turn-over clean your key with alcohol, wait 4 minutes and try again. If it starts, it's your VATS.

Well, which one is it?

so will it either be the battery or the starter?
