    That's weird that your SUV was driving just fine yesterday but won't start today. My own car will not start at all. The lights go on inside, and the check engine light turns on, but it won't even turn over. We should probably both find a car repair place to take ours to.http://www.michaelstowingva.com/repairs

I had this happen engine turns over but won't start. I had a 98 dodge that did this every year in the winter time. It was always the same thing. Crankshaft position sensor. Bottom of the engine by the fly wheel on the passenger side. I hope that helped.

When you say it wont start will the engine turn over?
if it wont turn over i think you should check your battery connections
if the engine turns over then you need to check your fuel pressure and spark and let me lknow

Truck wont start

You can try inserting the key into the ignition, turning it to the run position (without trying to start it), and switch the valet switch on. Turn the ignition off and try to start the SUV. If that doesn't work the remote will need to be fixed. Either replace the battery or have the remote replaced. If the problem is within the alarm control module. you may need to have it removed or replaced. The system can not be bypassed. If you have other questions, please feel free to write back. Good luck.

2002 yukon wont start drove it allday yesterday and last night .woke up headed to to work wouldn't start tried jumping it still kno start replace battery and still wont start

Is the starter engaging when you jump start it? You say you replaced the battery, is the cable ends clean? If the starter is engaging you have other problems, if its not then check out the starter/cables. Good luck!

2003 yukon xl turns over fine wont start.

Someone will need to figure out if you are lacking fuel to the injectors or spark to the plugs to proceed.
You say the pump is fine, have you checked the fuel pressure, and do you know if the injectors are getting voltage and ground pulse from the computer ?

Gave a jump start and now headlights don't work on a 2005 yukon denali

sound like battery has weak or battery terminals and post need cleaning. have battery charged and checked, if battery good. alternator not charging battery. if battery over 5 years old more likely battery is bad.if battery too weak head lights wont turn on battery dead this time of year if battery old. cold weather will finish it out.

1997 GMC Yukon runs great but starts hard

That's often a sign of a failing check valve in the fuel pump. Try this. When you turn the key to RUN, the fuel pump activates for 2-seconds to boost any lost pressure. Try turning the key to RUN, then OFF and repeat three times. If the engine starts right up, you probably need a new fuel pump. The real test is called a leakdown test where the shop throws a pressure gauge on it and leaves it overnight. If it loses more than 5-10-psi, the check valve is shot. Can't be replaced separately .

2005 yukon denali, a/c worked fine until battery died

Get the climate control computer relaced or reprogrammed. There is a good chance that when your vehicle was jump started it fried the climate system.
