V1PER,

Does it crank and not start or will it just not crank at all? What year/make/model is your whip?

Have you ever worked on a car before?

Did you check the battery leads and ignition?

Are you using the right key?

Did you grease your muffler bearing lately?

Does anything electric work like the headlights? If not you probably have a bad connection at the battery or a bad battery. Just last week something broke inside my battery and it went from perfectly working to stone dead. I didn't even hit a bump or anything, it just quit.

Sounds like your car is about as straight as you are
