My car wouldn't start My Z wouldn't start this afternoon.
I drove it for an hour then let it sit for about 30 minutes. When I went to start it, it wouldn't. The only way it started is when it got a jump. When I took it to Autozone they tested the car and said that the battery and the alternator were fine. It has been starting fine ever since.
I think it might be the starter. There were no clicks like the battery was dead.
Any input to solve this mystery would be appreciated.

My car did something similar to this and it ended up being the battery - If it is an original battery, might want to check the "eye" on the battery and make sure it's still green and not black. When I replaced the battery, I cleaned the connections really well with baking soda and water with a toothbrush and haven't had a single problem since. Might want to just try cleaning the connections to save the cash at first.
