Recheck the battery after it's been off the charger for awhile, I'd bet it's bad. Will it start with a jump? If yes battery is bad or something is drawing it down overnight

My 1996 Nissan Sentra GXE automatic GA16DE acts like it's trying to turn over but it won't start. I've already tested the battery, it's good, also cleaned the battery terminals; replaced the fuel pump relay, change the spark plugs in Sept 2018 & checked them after this problem started for any cracks, changed the spark plug wires, the rotor & distributor, the car still won't start. I can hear the fuel pump when I turn the switch on. Any ideas on what else could be the cause of the engine not engaging to start? Thank you. 1 Answer

I have a 2000 Ford Contour. I ran a few errands yesterday with no issues. I did not hear any changes in how the car starts or how long it takes. I went out to my car today and it does not turn over. All lights/electricity is on, it makes the sound like its trying to turn on, but will not turn. I bought a new battery hoping that was part of it. That is not the issue, left it plugged in over night and did not drain, so it does not appear to be alternator (which was recently replaced) what else could it be? (I am thinking of the starter, but could it be anything else?) 3 Answers
