Could be corroded battery terminals/ cables..actually happens all the time.Dumb question but...Is it a new battery?, Is it the proper amount of cold cranking amps? also , i have found that for some reason with cars there is a domino effect when it comes to parts breaking down, with that being saidwww.automd.com has a trouble shooting program to help with starting issues (for future reference of course)...too many reasons for no starts but here is the dumbest....sometimes batteries actually go dead on the shelf before U buy them,especially @ walmart..so make sure you have the store test it first I f you can't. Hopefully It starts now ,if not please let us know a little more about this.Good Luck

Check fuel pressure at motor with a gauge or scan tool data ,

You have to change spark plugs every 3 years,change air filter & clean maf sensor once a year

If your combining your explanation of the problem,
then maybe you just have a bad battery

So I changed the oil in my friend car and she has really high mileage on it so I put 10W-30 in it for high mileage an now it won't start can you help me out please

I would suggest a full synthetic oil, next time & stay with 5W-30
That will be better on start up

I have no idea why it won't start after only changing the oil

I think that was just a coincidence

I just installed a new throttle body ,because the motor has
acted up for 7 months & unknown the battery was failing
as I was diagnosing some odd behaveour

I was using professional scan tool software & when that
went weird I saw the computer module & battery voltages
going down,key on,engine off. So strange things happen
with todays electronics. When your think your on your game
things go to the twylight zone

2005 sedona won't start all of a sudden. Doesn't make a sound except for a tiny whirring sound like the feul injectors. Replaced starter...still won't start. checked all fuses...they are good....

you could just have dead cell in the battery which isn't getting enough amps to the starter,, have the battery LOAD checked,, that will tell you if the battery is actually good, just because it registers 12 volts isn't necessarily an indication that the required amps are present.

Hello. My 1997 Chevy Tahoe refuses to start. The problems began with a bad fuel pump. I changed. It worked. The fuel pump died again. I changed it again and it has been working. I parked it for two weeks....

Now you have a good battery & a starter that turns over the motor

Have you cycled the key on & off with a fuel pressure gauge on the
fuel rail?

Do you have a fuel filter that isn't over 3 or 4 years old?

Have you checked for spark while cranking ? Use an old plug on the wires,
if you have ignition wires,don't ground the wire without resistance

If you removed the ducting & MAF Sensor it won't start

Tell us what you checked & exactly how that was done.
