Car Wont Start!
Hey guys, maybe you all can help me with this problem I just encountered with my 8...About 1 pm I was getting into my 8, tried to start it, it kept cranking but did not start. I HIGHLY doubt that it is a flooding problem since I always drive the car a few miles after it's started, I was thinking of going to pep boys right now and purchasing a new battery...any other ideas of what it could be? oh, and the car was only sitting for 2 days...

if you don't know how to change out the coils, then either look in the DIY section or take it to the dealership. it's not hard, but since you haven't had experience working on the car, it might be hard for you to diagnose.
if you would like to give it a shot;
1. check the battery voltage while cranking
2. check the coils -see diy-
3. check the plugs -see diy-
4. check the starter version -you may want to invest in the updated starter-
