Just Bought a 98 jettal gls and started up fine, everything was great....shout it off, 15 minutes later when I went to start it...wouldn't start. I was toldd it was a coil...replaced the coil, turned car on, let it idle, and after 12 minutes it just turned off and won't start. Waited an hour, started right up, turned it off and no start AGAIN! Any ideas??

Sounds like a relay stuck on that killed the battery. I keep my parking lights on so I can see when the unit starts (no other feedback). Problem comes in when it starts and I don't know it, Parking lights come on and won't shut off till door is opened.
I think this is what killed my battery. I need to return to the installer and and have a relay installed so lights shout off when engine is off.
Hope this helps!!
This is a wild guess, but disconnect the positive terminal from your battery. Touch the cable (that went to the positive) to the negative, to drain out any capacitor in the system that is holding charge. I think you have to short it that way for about 10 seconds. Reconnect cable to positive and start car.
That will reset your computer and should reset the alarm as well.
If there is a check engen light on go to auto zone or O'Reilly's they will check it for free. Could be fuel pump going bad. Could be crank shaft sensor. Or a couple other things new cars are kinda a pane.
Hmm, i would have went for the starter relay,check connections on starter,it also sounds like it might be a fuse, or a fuseable link. i hope this helps
all i can say is check for power and ground at the fuel pump. get someone to turn the key to the on position (not crank!) and use a test light to see if you are getting power.
