Re: 2003 Cavalier Starting Problem--PLEASE help. Please?

John...

Here's what is happening..

1. I turn the ignition. The starter initiates. I can hear the whine as the car attempts to start.

2. The engine will "jump" like it's trying to start, but nothing else happens. I don't know if there's no spark or if there's no fuel. Either way, it's not going any further than that.

I forgot to mention that this happened one other time before...several days ago. I went out to start the car and it didn't start on the first try (very unusual, but I assumed it was because of the severely cold weather). It started up on the second try, though...so eh? Then, it ran fine until yesterday when it suddenly wouldn't run at all. Don't know if the two incidents are related or not, but figured I'd tell you anyway.

I'm heartbroken. I love my car! I can't stand that he's not working!
