Im having a lot of troubble starting my car... Check out my post -
So... When I go to start my car (2000 Dodge Neon) I can turn the key and it will just make a sort of hum/hissing noise. If I keep the key turned it just keeps doing it. Every once and a while it will try to start a little, maybe turn over once sometimes it will maybe turn over a few times? Sometimes it will do that every few seconds and sometimes it just wont do anything at all for a few seconds. The car always ends up starting eventually, it has been doing it for about 2 years now but it has really been getting a lot worse lately. It is not dependent at all on temperature or weather conditions. Some people have suggested that it is the fly wheel, or the distributor cap, someone mentioned it was the started solenoild, but I traced the power cord to it and it didnt look like it was on fire or anything.
If anyone has any information that they can give me I would really appreciate it. Ive got a few people who know some things about cars and are willing to help me get to figure out what the problem is, but they are tight on time so I was hoping I would find some sort of an idea through here before having them come help me out.
Let me know if you have any ideas!!
THANKS
Andrew

well how old is the battery...? and is it charged? is it also being charged when the car is on.... if your car is sputtering while you are driving then i would think that it could need a tune up... plugs wires, possibly a new ignition coil depending on how long you have had the one thats on there now on.... but other than that im not sure what else the problem could be....
