I drove all over yesterday then about 7pm I was missing an item for dinner and car wouldn’t start. The starter sounded fine and healthy, it just wouldn’t engage.
The battery is less than a year old but I still had a friend come by, it wouldn’t jump either. It started right up today. Went to o’reilly and the battery and alternator tested fine.
Last night it sounded like trying to start a car where everything is fine but no gas. However, it’s 3/4 full. Fuel pump, filter, battery, plugs and various other things were replaced less than a year ago.
Any ideas?
sounds like it cranks. That means your battery is fine. Intermittent problems like this one are tough to figure out, even for the professionals.
Was there a big temperature or humidity difference between last night and the morning? Did a weather front move through overnight? Perhaps something like vapor in the line affected it at night but not in the morning. How old is this car and what’s the make/model?
Of course, the most obvious thing is to check for a banana in the tailpipe.
No strange weather. It’s been dry and warm the past few weeks.
It’s an older car. 2009 Outback. Low mileage for its age in my opinion. 120,000. But I"ve been very meticulous on annual servicing and repairing everything at the first sign of going bad.
