Has plenty gas and brand new battery. Was leaking water from somewhere. Coolant light kept coming on and had to put in water about two times a day. Did not run it hot! Make a strange sound when cranking it. Actually after crank, like you were hold the key a little too long even though you did not. Water leak stopped. Coolant light stopped coming on only had to put in water once every two days. I have no idea why it changed. Starter got stuck on twice just for a few seconds in the previous week. Then while driving went shut off will not start. Will crank but not start. Makes noise like it is going to start but never does. Starter stuck on while continually trying to get it to start. Only had three weeks. Please help.

Hi Kistina, sounds like you need to get spark plugs out of it to clean. They are probably wet.
You can go to an auto parts store and get some quick start spray fluid and you might get lucky. But it sounds like it is already getting gas but the spark plugs might by wet from coolant. Can you remove the plugs or get a friend to help?

I hooked up obd2 and got no code and U2107. Do you still think it maybe wet plugs? Also gas gauge reads full all the time. I was thinking maybe BCM?

Yes, when it is almost starting but cannot, chances are it has fouled plugs. I would definitely pull them.
You will be able to tell if they are wet from coolant or from gas. Hopefully it is not a coolant problem.
