CAR WONT START

nysiv16 · December 3rd, 2011, 05:41 PM

hey guys i have a 2000 gt manual with 140k...
as i was coming from the gym the car died on me 3 times...every time i would crank it, it felt like it wasnt getting any fuel or spark...it would crank but never turn on...the first 2 times it turned on after me trying to turn it on about 10 times but would just die another few blocks...once i got it towed home it started up fine and is running ok for now...any idea what it could be? theres a new battery in there...so i know it isnt that perhaps its the fuel pump or spark pugs?....need urgent help and thanks in advance guys!

Check the negative cable. And check engine lights?

Check for spark to start.

^+1 on the negative cable. Mine did that several times and I thought "great, what the ef is wrong". simply had to tighten up the negative cable.
