My car at times doesn't want to start. For example, When I 1st started the car it didn't want to start, since is a manual transmission I had my neighbor push it and we jump started the car, then I drove my car to the grocery store, completed the shopping. I got back in the vehicle and the car didn't want to start again! It has a new battery, and the spark plug wires were replace. I would like to know what might be the problem. Please submit a reply, and I appreciate your help.

If you provide the answer as soon as I become re-employed I will be glad to make a donation. Also please let me know where to send the donation.

Thank You!

Have you checked the starter relay or the starter itself?
