**Plastic Flute** · 11-18-2008, 10:10 PM

So, I have had my car for 4 yrs. The last 5 days when I turn the key I hear..dit ditt dit........... than it starts So I felt maybe it needed a bit of gas than hit the gas peddle and OMG my rpg thing went crazy. It scared me lol . So. now I turn the key and its like my engine stutters. Last June I spent a ton of $ for its 30,0000 miLE ck up.
How come I just cant turn my key and go ?

You got to get a dianostics test done. I think it could be a sensor or computer problem.

Yep! Eric is right!

But as I said, I have a clue!
First, ask the mechanic to test the battery. Probably your battery needs a recharge and depending on the situation you will need to buy a new one. You have your car for 4 years and never bought a new battery to it.
After, ask him to test the starter engine.
What is a starter engine? Is a high-torque electric motor used for the purpose of starting the engine, typically through a high ratio geared drive connected to the flywheel ring gear. Something in it could be broken.
Now, as Eric said, your mechanic must pass the scaner in the ECU to a correct diagnostic.

Tell us the news ok?
