When it comes to cars over 20 years old, it could be anything. Every part fails eventually. My only quick tip is the next several times you get in the car to start it:
- Turn the key to ON.
- Listen for a few seconds
- Turn key to START You will at least find out if the fuel pump works on the times it does or not start. GW
