Did you check the starter? I remember a roadside assistance person put some kind of stick against the starter, and the car started...

Give the IAC a few taps with a long handled screwdriver.

Seraphitia, did you read the post? Sliver02GT stated, "it turns over fine". Doubtful it's the starter...
(And, oh my God, haven't you changed that freakin avatar yet? Is that you? Looks like someone has a mouthful of goo and won't swallow.)
Sliver02GT, is the theft light on? Maybe the PATs is acting up? try diconnecting the battery for 10 mins or so, then reconnect and try again.

I do not think Searphita deserves to be disrespected like that So she missed the "starter turns it over" detail? There is no need to attack her personally especially in tech

You don't know how many times , gone to tow someone, lift their hood, smack the IAC a couple of time and it cranks right up.
That's the first thing to try.

What is so disrepectful about that?
Click to expand...
Oh, maybe the avatar comment? My apologies, but honestly, that is exactly what it looks like to me...just looks like a goofy picture. But to each his or her own. I really thought this avatar was a joke or something...not actually Seraphitia. My sincere apologies.
I did offer my techncial thought/idea on the issue, which was the reason for my post.















Still, that avatar looks like someone has a mouthful of goo and won't swallow.
