DIDN'T START

I HAVE A 1993 CHEVY S10, V6 4.3, WITH 112,000 MILES. IT HAS A NEW BATTERY, I TOOK IT TO THE STORE AND IT STARTED FINE AND RAN GOOD. WHEN I CAME OUT TO START IT NOTHING HAPPENED. JUST THE INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE DASH. IT DIN'T CRANK AT ALL. ALL THE LIGHTS AND HORN WORKED. I WENT TO MAKE A PHONE CALL FOR HELP AND WHEN I CAME BACK IT STARTED AND HAS BEEN WORKING. ANY THOUGHTS ON THIS MISHAP?

Could just have been a fluke. Possibly the vehicle flooded itself. The battery should be fine as the dash and everything worked. Could be a loose connection on the battery, but it may be nothing to worry about. If it starts happening more often let us know and we can give you a better answer.

Remember it takes 3/4 things to start an engine.

1. Fuel (Too Much/Too Little = No Start)
2. Spark (Too Much/Too Little = No Start)
3. Oxygen (Too Much/Too Little = No Start)
4. Compression (Too Much/Too Little = No Start)
