does it try to turn over when you turn the key? Or does it do nothing? It could be your battery not having enough charge to start the car. Take it down the schucks/napa and ask them to check your battery, alternator, and possibly your starter.

No its not the starter..you say it starts when you get a jump..

Sounds like the battery is low..take it to strauss or autozone,they check it for free.

Alternator could be toast. Does your battery light come on when driving?

(Please stop yelling and turn off your caps lock, dude.)

Has to be the battery. One dead cell can screw the whole battery up. Its not the alternator because you can start it with a jump or push start. get a new battery
