You have my sympathy. My wife and I drove to Chigago (150 mile trip) on beautiful sunny Sunday to see an SD. Owner's son said Mom had taken it to the store and "it wouldn't start" when she got out, so it was towed to their new house and left.

We packed the jumper cables and left for Chicago-land. When we arrived, we were told that besides a dead battery that there was mo oil in the car. It seems that Mom had hit something and pulled the drain plug halfway out of the pan, and there was no oil in the engine.

Gee, I wonder why it wouldn't start?

Anyway, it was a nice drive with my wife, all 4 hours of it.

Live and learn.

Good luck to all this new year.
