Ok Guys,
I suck at cars, they all hate me. Anyways, my wife got home not 10 minutes ago and we decided to go to the store. We got into the car and she turned the key, and nothing. All the lights came on but no rev of the engine. We have had problems with the engine having trouble starting...ie: excessive revs and then having to push on the gas over and over again since it was flooding, but not this. We changed the battery not long ago so I know it isn't that. Anyone got any suggestions?

Sincerely,
Greg

Does it do anything at all? Sometime you can hear the starter whinning or ticking? Anything that you notice to be different could lead to the answer or your problems.

Does the car starts right up after it has cooled down? If yes, more than likely it's the starter solenoid which sits on top of the starter. Make sure also that the starter/starter solenoid bolts to the engine near the flywheel is tight and not loose.

Check the starter cable connections and make sure it is not corroded or no loose. Tighten them up. If the bolts of the starter to the engine near the flywheel is loose then tighten them up. As the temperature goes down, the battery charge capacity goes down and you may have enough power for the lights and stereo, the engine requires a whole lot of power just to crank over a cold engine. Loose bolt or loose cable connection to the starter could make it difficult to start or not start at all.
