This just started happening. When my car sits for a while (a couple of days) and I don't drive it, I will go to start it and it just cranks but won't actually start. I can go back a little later to try to start it again and it usually starts right up. I missed class today because of this P.O.S car.

Any ideas?

 

i missed work cuz of this too. but im checking my main relay tomorrow. i think thats what it is.

 

OK basically to start off an easy way to see if its the main relay is that you turn the key to the on position (do this when the car isnt starting) the check engine light should turn on then turn off a second later if it doesnt turn on or it doesnt turn off then its probably your main relay. also It sounds dumb but if the light stays on kick the lower dash by your left foot if the light goes off its you main relay.
the relay is located down by the left kick panel up on the wall. they say its somewhat hard to get to. I hope this works. or helps
