Default Help!!! [trouble starting car]

Hey guys:

My car wouldn't start last night. I have noticed yesterday morning when i turn it on that it wasn't normal (like there wasn't enough power to it).. the day goes by and at night.... i went to fill up gas, and when i got there i turned off the car filled up the car and when i went to start it it wouldn't start. it would try to start but it won't.. i tired to jump start it and it didn't work... please let me know if that's the battery that's completely dead...

Could be the battery in your key. Try holding it up right next to the push to start button and try. If its still not working its most likely your car battery. If you have a multimeter you can always check it with that.

Does the engine turn over? If not, might be the starter. You may have a flat spot in the starter, which will cause it to start some times, but not others.

Start by having your battery tested.

When you say "jump start it"...was this from another running vehicle or a jump box?
