“I’ve had the car towed twice, and both times it actually started while it was halfway onto the tow truck.”source ↗

“A few mechanics have jumped it and cleared the codes, and it’ll run perfectly for about a day before doing it again.”source ↗

“Car randomly fixes itself after being moved/towed”source ↗

“Runs perfectly after codes are cleared, then fails again”source ↗

“This was happening as I tried to turn the engine on, at the end of the video it started properly but I’m scared I’m going to be stranded at work today.”source ↗

“Sounds like it has no compression, I am not sure what engine it is, but could be a broken timing belt.”source ↗

“Does it crank, click, or do nothing?”source ↗

“Just a hunch... it might be a bad fuel pump. It’s a common issue with older cars.”source ↗
