i havent driven my maxim since sunday night (today is tuesday night)...

today was pretty hot and tonight was pretty cold(just telling in case it makes a difference)

as i went to start the car, it wouldnt start...and by the sound...i could tell it wasnt the battery cause ive had that happen before...

i didnt know wat to do...and i knew pumping gas or watever was my only option, and last thing i heard and wat my dad would always tell me is never do it even if it works cause it hurts the car long term...
any1 know wat this can be a result of? my diagnostic code is for the absolute pressure sensor...but could it also be fuel filter or ks or os or something else?

any help is greatly appreciated

 

comon, som1 must know

 

check ur starter. give it a couple taps and then try to start it.

 

wat u mean? u mind if i pm u? (since ur giving me ideas on both my topics)

 

does it crank? if so its def not the starter.

 

i dont know wat u mean...i dont know the terminology lol...i can start the car right now if u want...wat should i look for when doing it?

 

when you turn the key does the engine move? does it crank over but not fire up or when you turn the key does nothing happen?

 

well b4 i went to class...i started the car and nothing was happening,,,the noise was not the same as if u had a weak or dead battery...other than that i cant explain the niose...the engine move? as if rattle and stuff then 'not any different than the past'...
when i left class however i had no problems,,this has been going on for a while now

 

if thats the case, tap ur starter and eventually, buy a new one.

 

u mean there is no noise. this happened to me and all i heard was silence and me crying cause i thought i broke it and the starter click sound whtever.
ur starter should be located somewhere under the circled area.

 

thnx, if it happens to me tonight or tomorrow, i appreciate the help
and thnx for the pic,,,makes it so mch easier for peeps like me

 

just another thing cause ur a newb, ur car will start sometimes and sometimes it won't.
thats when u tap on the solenoid. but go to parks auto and buy a rebuilt one.

got mine for around $128 and installed it w/ a friend in under an hour.

 

yes get it now before it gets completely dead, and just hope you wont be in a bad spot when it happens
