Default Wont start now?
2002 PT cruiser, stock. Just got done with replacing the timing belt after it let go. Got all finished and buttoned up, started right up. Put 15 miles on the car with no problems. Parked it and tried to start it 2 days later and acted like a bad battery. Checked battery and it was bad. Installed new one and cleaned the connections. Turns over but just wont seem to catch and go. Any ideas?

2 things needed - gas and spark. Get some starting fluid and spray in intake - any spark at all and that will ignite.

Yep, tried that too. It seems to be turning over just a little slow. Tried to jump it also.
