Rep Power: 0 the first thing i would check is if the battery terminals are not all corroded, then if that is the problem check if the battery is still good, then check the alt. see if the is that good or you could take your car to autozone or a shop to let them do a electrical test.

Rep Power: 0 clean the metal tips? on top of the battery with sandpaper, sometimes that can cause it not to start, if it still doesnt start after than i'd check the starter but its way too soon to get that checked out.....gas pump prolly?

Rep Power: 787 battery, grounds, plugs, and plug wires. Get some regular copper plugs for $8. I know on my car using iridium my car wouldn't start at least once a day, just kept cranking. Switched to copper and it starts up 95% of the time.
