2002 Grand Am Won't Start

Dec 11, 2005 6 Replies
2002 Grand Am running fine yesterday morning. When I returned to my care on my lunch brake tried to start it and it wouldn't turn over. You can hear it crank but it just wont' turn over. New battery in Sept ... was replaced after car did the same thing it is doing now. Has been working fine since. All my lights work, radio works etc, but just won't start. No symptoms prior to yesterday. Any ideas on what it can be?

Your car has run out of gas.

Funny ... Now I am naive when it comes to car repair but I am not stupid. Car had more than a quarter tank of gas.

Does it have spark? What is the fuel rail pressure?

I had a car once that didn't like to run on that low of gas.

The battery may just have a low charge, I've had something similar happen to me. lights work, radio and A/C too, but it just doesnt have enough power to start the engine. did you leave the radio or lights on for a while without the engine running? If so, try jumping it and see if that's it. Sorry if this isn't much help, but it's all i could think of since i dont have a vast knowledge of auto mechanics (understatement)
