My other car did wouldn't start all the sudden. Took the starter off and had it tested and it tested good but since I had it off I bought one anyway, it was the problem. Good luck

 

Zach, that is a weird one! It's a S series right? Did you check the fuses inside, passenger side front of the center console, how about the grounds! I think there is just the one from the bat to the body then one that goes from the motor mount to body, how did the small wires on the starter look( I know it's a b word to see) god I could suggest forever but that is an odd one! I'll grab my book before work tomarow and do a quick flip through to see if there is anything in there

 

99 sl2. it seems really weird. couldnt really see the starter wires it was getting dark out. i didnt check the fuses on the passenger side all the ones under the hood look good. i will have to mess with it more tomorrow.

 

I hear what you are telling me about the battery. I would not dismiss it until I checked it. A few weeks ago Susan took the new Town & Country to the doctors office. I bought this in June. It had been perfect. She came out of the doctors office and went to start it and nothing. The battery failed just like that. I've had this happen a few times. It only takes a few minutes to check a battery and eliminate it as the problem

 

They inspect the car, whatever fails you can get fixed there, and then get your stickers. Or you can leave, do what needs to be done and schedule another appointment for another check.

Since I only have 3 days left on my temporary inspection, I had to get it just fixed there.

 

^Oh thanks for the update.

 

Shoot... here, they plug in a code scanner for 96^the vehicles and older (back to 74), they put a probesniffer in thethe tailpipe and measureI the co2 levels... if you fail, you fix the car and try again.
