Could be all grossed out, or look for a loose ground on the starter, I had one that got loose and would heat up and not start after driving around a bit.

nothing should happen when the key is turned I thought. This happened to me when I first bought my car. Turned the key and nothing happened. Nothing at all. Turned out a connector on one of the posts was loose and not making good contact. I just jiggled the battery lead till I had a good connection until I got home and tightened it.

"let me jiggle this and see what happens". Started right up. The fuel pump did prime, but it doesn't take much juice to do that. Hope it works better soon!

lol, ooh that sucks. Only took me about 5 mins to say that.

I was a Lieutenant at the time, there was no Seargent to come out of the woodwork and save me!

If there is a lot of acid build up on the battery, pour beer or coke on it...plz dont waste beer hah

coke is far too exspensive and fattening, try a dark diet soda.

Or some nasty vinegar...or buy a terminal cleaning set? lol.
