They call me Spuds
So I've been searching, along with past experiences I'm thinking my starter just took a dump.
Started the car this morning to move it (I like listening to music while I'm doing chores) not a problem started just fine as it has been doing since I picked it up three weeks ago. It sat for about an hour and a half while I was getting my stuff done, got in it to head home and nothing. I turn the key and I can hear the fuel pump cycling, the battery is less than three months old; also, I get the battery light and the check oil light (guess I need to start remembering which lights illuminate when I start it), all interior still works, seats, windows, stereo, HVAC. I hooked it up to another rig, let it sit for about ten minutes and still the same...
I've had starters quit before but never like this, usually gives signs like lagging or slow turning but never just up and quit... there's no clicking from the solenoid (that just crossed through my head BTW). Another thing, do these cars have oil level sensors that keep the car from starting when the level gets too low?
Any tips or ideas that I'm not thinking of???
Thanks guys...
