Car will not start

Try a trade in. No, I wish I could help more.Sounds like a fuel (pump) problem.

It's not a fuel pump. Likely you have a dead alternator. When the alternator fails the car runs straight from the battery. It's a pretty sure thing when you recharge a battery then it dies the same day or a day later that it's the alternator. So you have a choice: A new alternator is generally between $80 and $200. You can have the dealer or mechanic do it for about $300 or you can do it yourself. Depends on how handy you are with a wrench.

I agree that the alternator - charging system has a problem. check the wiring to the alt. and check for voltage also. you say the car will crank now but will not run.... and m.s.d. box light will not light ? not good.... check for voltage at box red wire followed by voltage at + side of coil. hold test light on - side of coil and have an assistant crank engine over ... test light should flash if working properly. no flash could mean bad m.s.d. box and or pick-up coil inside of distributor. good luck .....

A bad alternator can actually drain a battery.
