    Starting issue

    I went to start my car today. The fuel pump primes but nothing. I used my other key and the valet key still nothing. I tested the battery and that was good. No codes no nothing to read. Any suggestions

        It cranks but it won’t start? Or it doesn’t crank?

          The dash lights up. The fuel pump primes. I turn the key and nothing no crank no clicks. No nothing.

            Sounds like a starter

              Try putting the car in gear and rocking it back and forth, then try starting it. You might have to do this multiple times. If it starts after doing this then the issue is your starter. Flat spots form on the starter contacts and the rocking can help knock the starter into a place that's not flat spotted. I had to do this a couple times while waiting on my new starter.

              If your car is a manual you could also try bump starting it.

                Contact on the hood? Battery poles fixed?

                  I got it started. I had to pop start it. I’m guessing it’s probably the starter. But it only has 65k miles
