Well this car has been giving me problems for the past two years and today I drove it about half a mile and it shook and then just stopped and then would not turn on. It sounded like it wanted to but didnt stay on. The oil and battery light turned on but I tried to jump start it and still nothing!! I have changed the starter, resurfaced the engine block, changed the transmission, and pretty much keep checking the water and oil everyday. I use the car about 60miles a day. Could some one tell me what I'm doing wrong

Hi purple88,

You should be checking what is missing causing the non starting.

At bottom of post there is a " First Things To Check " link which has a comprehensive diagnostic/testing procedures for you to choose from.

Go through them and let me know what is missing.
