Car NOT Starting
Hello,
Recently my car stalled in traffic. it stalled right after I started moving from a stop sign. Now it will not start at all.
The battery seems ok - lights turn on, radio works.
Attached is the noise the car makes when i try to turn the ignition on.
please, kindly let me know if you have ideas about what might be the problem.
cheers, Noela

Yes, the engine does crank, and the red security light does come on while cranking (I have to double check on this).
on two occasions, (an hour after the car stalled) I was able to start the car, after repeated cranking. Once i turned it off, I was unable to start it again. it just cranks repeatedly, as you can hear in the mp3.
