Remove the plastic cover over the battery and make sure there isn't any corrosion around the terminals.

Need some more info to help narrow down problem.
Does the starter crank? Any sounds? Any power?

Thanks =)

Ok so I cÀlled my freind that installed the alrm....everything in the car works perfectly It just didn't want to start.....when he came it started after a couple of trys...and when it started the check engine light came on....from his guess and what I thought also is that the car was not reading the key codes but I was surprised that the car remote start didn't want to start either

Ok so i ended up taking the car to the mechanic and just for my luck i got there with the check engine light on ...parked the car until i was gonna be attended ....when there were gonna do the diognastic test to the car all of a sudden the car didnt have the light on ....wtf????

They still conected the computer and apear that the oxigen sensor and the trans. sensors were pending problems but after that nothing else ....

They told me that if the check engine appears again to take it straight to him so he can check it again.

the codes are stored....

so if the CEL goes off, it still throws that code.


it would have been very helpful if you posted what codes you received as 02 sensor and trans is very very broad.
Please post the exact codes.

Go to an auto parts store to get the codes read
