Got my car in match driver it to Texas like 3 times and back to Louisiana. I got an oil change the next week after I got it in March, no last month or this month. It was saying I needed an oil change before my time. so, I went to AutoZone and they put 5w-20 instead of 5w-30 idk why! My car started running hot I changed my thermostat, coolant sensor and camshafter bank 2 (oil presser is the only one that’s not on! ) One minute I get it’s my motor! The next I’m getting it’s my starter ! Everything comes on I had just got a brand new battery when I bought the car ! (If it was the starter it wouldn’t do nothing right !? (I have the car listed above SE model)

So, sometimes the engine will not crank and other times it will not start and run?

This guide can help but we should run the codes as well:

You can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) which will work on most cars from Amazon.

Here is a video to show you how:
