Default Just got my new trans am yesterday and i have a problem....

well it was all fine this morning when i whent to start it but then i got to the store and parked for like 5 min, and when i tried to crank it, no crank no noise no nothing, now i knwo the battery wasnt dead, and i know my fuel pump is fine i dont knwo what could it be, any suggestions? and also the passenger window is having problems going up and down, got to the point where it wont move at all, i checked the control seemes fine but i gotta make sure current is flowing through, one more thing when i step on the gas it goes up nicely but when it reaches about 80-90 mark it stumbles adn it wont go up but hte engine still tries to rev up but i have to let go of the gas and step on it again for it to get throught he 80-90 mark, if you guys could help that would be great. PM me, or just reply to my post.

try jumping it, can't hurt and it's free. does it have some sort of alarm system that would stop it from starting?

My camaro did the same thing a few weeks ago 3 times. It hasnt done it since. I was at the grocery store for 10 mins or so then i go out and the car is completely dead. no crank or nothing but everything else worked fine so it wasnt the battery. After letting it sit for a min.. it started fine and that was the last time it happened. The other 2 times it was just at my house and it wouldnt crank the first turn but started on the 2nd try.

Im sure its the VATS system
