Default Help car wont start!
Got back from a 200 mile triip last night and everything went fine. This morning car wont start. It has electrical power and it shows good voltage but its just not turning over. What should I check first?

It could also be the starter or a security problem. Does the security light or theft light or whatever it is flash when you try and start the car?

new keys. the chip in teh key may have gone bad, so that activates the vats system which kills power to the fuel pump and starter.
