Welcome to Car Talk, you were redirected here…

Sorry but I got to say it, you might need to stop shopping everyday and take your vehicle to an auto repair shop to have it diagnosed and repaired… 😉

As far as the no start, well a couple questions 1st, any lights on the dash, like a CEL light on, and or what codes are showing using a scanner?? You can go to an auto parts to have them checked… Post the codes here, hint: if no print out, take a pic of the codes and post them here…
