Car was running fine then went to start it after sitting for 10 hours and would not start. It is cold in Chicago area. Battery is 12.6 V and all lights and radio come on. Oil level and coolant is fine. There was/is an issue that happened once every few months when starting the car that there is no crank no start, I put foot on brake and nudge the shifter and it starts right up. Then I also have noticed sometimes that there is a gasoline smell after starting the car. Car eats up gas but it is a V6.

Second video is from the next day after cleaning off battery terminals which had some corrosion. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.cartalk.com/t/ideas-on-why-car-is-not-starting-audio-included/182314)._
