car won't start trying to keep my calm :-)
Did everything added mobil 5w-30 didn't do anything, boost started with another car and an generator no success. What is the solution guys, could it be that my alternator is gone and how would you know. The battery is a couple months old, and is fully charged. The displays do appear in the vehicle but when i turn the ignition the engine won't start. It turns very slowly and then dies. I have a quarter tank of gas left, i doubt it is the gas lines that are frozen. I am so pissed off with my car right now. Any inputs would be appreciated thanx.

the alternator would not prevent the car from starting.
if it's cranking, it's not getting spark or fuel. if it's not cranking, it's either the battery or the starter. doubtful it's the battery if it's a strong 12V.
