Did you try jumping it?

hxg94tt

Yes I tried jumpping it, only cranks faster, battery is low from my wifes attempts at starting it.
Still has over half tank of gas ,(fuel is good).I can hear fuel pump when the key is turned ..
would the security system have anything to do with it ?

I would take the battery to an auto parts store and have them check the amount of charge left. In regards to the security system, is the steering column locked?

Steering column is not locked (when key is turned)

is the engine turning over?

^^^ Yes it turns over ^^

might check spark plugs or coil packs or if you have the electronic key under the steering colum by the hood latch if its damaged or missing.

After two days with no luck.. tried to start it this morning, turned over about 3 times & started , a little rough idle at first then smoothed out , drove for a while everything seems fine now ..

Check the air filter and MAF. I had a rodent that ate mine and my car broke down a mere 1/4 mile after I purchased it. Crazy ****e.
