car still wont start....
posted last week if you remember. Anyway had a feeling it was the battery so I took it to be charged and they said it was low, they charged it and car still wouldnt start. Just got around to look at it again today so I decided to buy a new battery tonight and sure enough the car started right up and ran fine. 4 hours later the car wont start again! maybe this will narrow things down a bit, any ideas?

when I crank it it does sound like it wants to start ....
it just doesnt. its cranks pretty quick more so now than with the old battery.
Its been parked on the street for a week now so I just need it to start once more so I can drive it to a friends house before I get a ticket or towed.

I really didn't check...
once it started I just assumed it was the battery and I thought it was good to go. The gauge was reading like 14 amps and I had no CEL and nothing flashing on the autocheck.

is your fuel pump priming in the key on position? could be fuel pump relay...
I had issues with mine in the cold, if I tapped on it with a screwdriver it would work. Try that, if I was a betting man that's what I would go with
