Alright, so here's the deal. Before I left for basic training in October I drove the car daily, minor problems like oil pressure that's it. I came back home around Christmas and the car started up fine, put it in drive and about 4 feet down the driveway the car started smoking out the engine, stopped the car popped the hood let it cool down and it started leaking engine coolant, replaced the water pump, still leaking. Then had to leave for my schooling a week after I got home just threw a car cover on top of it and waited till I got home, got back home in May, took off my water pump and found the leak was coming from the plastic coolant elbows, notorious for cracking, replaced them good to go, then needed a new battery for my car, got that installed and now the car wont crank. So now I don't know what to do. The starter, alternator, battery, and the ground are all fine, I have a strong feeling it has to do with the aftermarket security system in the car that was already in it when I purchased the vehicle, cause the security light sometimes stays on the dash and sometimes doesn't, I don't know if the new battery restarted the security system or what but it won't let me start. Please let me know if anyone has heard of this issue or has a solution thanks a lot!
