Put a volt meter to the batt, it may be completly dead.. that means it won't hold a charge even if you jump it.


oh yea check your terminals.

check your fuses and listen for your fuel pump to prime......do you get a CEL when you turn the key?

It is a fuse if the CEL does not light, and the fuel pump does not prime

get yourself a $15 digital multimeter... once you have one you'll find all sorts of uses for it.. They read voltage, ohms, amps, bunches of useful info.

Get it jumped by another running car.

Let the other vehicle charge to your dead battery. Maybe for about 5 min.

Then have the other vehicle rev up to 2000-2500 rpms while you crank your motor.
