Have you tried jump starting it?

Yes, try a jump start. Your battery is probably dead.

Check the battery or replace the battery on your remote, sometimes it looses signal and the car won't start the first time and after that it won't crank either.

Agreed, Please try jumping your car/testing battery and replace as needed. It seems your battery is dead since your electronics don't turn on

I replace the battery both battery car and key and still doing the same.. you hit the start bottom and crank and immediatly stop and the check engine light and park light wont show on cluster and i have to wait to both light show up so i can do crank again but never start same and same

Yes i try it and nothing samething

Both changed and nothing im getting crazy with this problem

Did you clean out the battery terminals on the battery ports and cables? Also check out all the fuses in the car and under the hood. Wiggle them around to make sure you have a good contact.

[QUOTE=isfdude;9341344]^^^ Definitely try this. I replaced my battery for nothing when my car didn't want to start. Turns out my terminals just don't make good contact with the battery for some reason. It's like they don't go tight enough so they don't actually make enough contact to start the car.

I actually carry around a pair of pliers with me now just in case for when this happens lol. Make sure all the wires are connected and that nothing is out of place, this may just be a very easy fix. Good luck

[QUOTE=Tro209;9341390]LOL This happened to me as well, The terminal wasnt secured properly so all I had to do was tighten it. I also carry around a wrench set in the event something goes south.

[QUOTE=Icy350;9343524]Haha it's good to know I'm not the only one :p Hope you figure out your problem OP, I'm sure it's an easy fix.

So does it even turn over or it just cranks and nothing? When you hit the button twice without the brake pedal depressed in ACC mode do you hear your fuel pump turn on?


My car was acting funny last week, having issues starting. When it finally did start my fuel pump sounded like a boat motor back there, swapped it out and all good now.

Is it possible you flooded your engine? Try this, depress the gas and brake and then hit the push start button, if the engine was flooded this should fix it and it will start right up.

If your car's auto I would double check your car is all the way in PARK

Does this really work? I never heard of that.. Then again I have never flooded my car either. Soooo...

Yes it does, I found other members experiences with this on the forum
