Ok, this is an unusual situation. I started my car yesterday to go to a friends house. It started fine, but after I started it I decided to take the Prius instead to save on gas. So the car started just fine.
I tried starting it today, and it won't turn. This isn't like what was happening before. It doesn't sound like a dead battery because it's actually really close to turning over. It doesn't seem like a timing belt because the engine is going a bit as well as the starter engine. I can only assume it's spark or fuel related. The problem is, if I can't turn on the car, I can't take it to a garage. To further complicate things, the car is in my garage which would make getting it out and onto a truck extremely hard because of our steep driveway and narrow turn at the end. ANYwho, I guess I don't understand how it could start just fine last night... had NO driving to wear it down, and now this. Any help is immensely appreciated. Btw, when I opened up the hood I smelled a VERY faint burnt toast type of smell. Could have been from trying to start the car 3 or 4 times though... -------------------- ![]() |
