    1998 4cyl Sadan will not start all of the sudden?
    Just got new brakes, rotors & battery yesterday. Machanic said it stalled about 2miles into the testing the brakes. Started right up. Drove it back to the shop. I pick it up 30min later and drive it right home with no problem. Next morning it will not start. Tried to jump it. No Luck? Lights are bright. Windows go up and down real fast. Radio plays. Just will not turn over?? Anyone have any idea what it could be. Hoping just a minor repair. Just spent $500 on repairs that I did not need yet.

    Thank you,

    Dave

    What kind of car do you have? Model? Engine?

    . Check all under-dash and under-hood fuses with a test light or multimeter. Here's how:

    . Remove battery and place on a charger. Clean battery and cable connections.
    . Check for codes.
    . Check for spark.
    . Check for fuel.
    . Ensure that the spark plugs, rotor, distributor cap, fuel filter, and spark plug wires are in good shape.
