Check to see if your "security" light is on. The VATS will disable the starter and fuel if it detects a mismatched key in the ignition, even though it's the proper key. The cylinder contacts will wear out after a few thousand times inserting the key.

Some cars wont start if there is no fuel pressure.
Check if you're getting fuel to the fuel rail.

Check the alternator. It is likely not working to charge your battery as your car operates. Your battery can sustain a momentary rush of current even when it is low, so this explains why you get a turn-over of the engine shaft. But as it drains quickly and needs a boost. It can also be cabling as well, but check that your battery is getting more voltage as the car operates (that is, after someone gives you a boost to start your car).

    New alternator and battery. Battery strong. Turns over but won't start

    IS the turn-over strong? Does the charge seem to fade as the starting continues? If still strong, then you likely have engine ignition issues which can be a variety of problems like no or poor sparking, or no gas pumping, bad mixture, etc.

Have a 2000 dodge durango w/new batter, blower all lights work but battery wont take charge??????????????????????

If you have changed the battery, have it load tested to make sure it is not defective.
A tech can also check the voltage output and regulator. I am assuming you have already had these two check done as well as ECM error codes. The PCM, powertrain control module would be my next component to have checked. A dealership should have the software to check this. I believe that the OEM part runs around $8 to $900.00 dollars. You may be able to get an aftermarket replacement for around $200, but once installed electrical components are not returnable. Do not get stranded somewhere, have a dealship check this problem out!

Won't start battery is ok.

REmove the starter for checking . IT may require a new solenoid or you may have a dead bar in the commutator which will require a new starter.. This is evidenced by sometimes you can start easy and other time the solenoid clicks every time you turn the key and then suddenly starts. IT comes from the armature stopping with the daed bar under a brush and when it turns just enough to touch another bar away it goes

My 2001 dodge grand caravan sport won't start

DOES THE VEHICLE MAKE ANY NOISE AT ALL WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED?, IF YOU GET A "CLICK" BUT NOTHING ELSE THEN THE STARTER IS JAMMED, GET A HAMMER & GIVE THE STARTER A FEW SOLID FIRM BUT NOT OVER ZEALOUS WHACKS, MAKE SURE THE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED & TURN THE KEY, IF ITS ANYTHING LIKE ALL THE CARS I'VE HAD OVER THE YEARS IT WILL MAGICALLY SPRING TO LIFE - IF IN DOUBT - GIVE IT A CLOUT!!

2003 silverado alarm issue

Click on the link.
You can try learn procedure, see if it helps? Some of my info says to hook-up battery charger on low charge, this is a 30 minute procedure.
When you try to start and key returns to run position, if the security lamp on the dash doesn't start flashing, your security system might not be the problem?
When battery voltage is lost some of your vehicle systems/modules may or may not have problems.

Hello. My 1997 Chevy Tahoe refuses to start. The problems began with a bad fuel pump. I changed. It worked. The fuel pump died again. I changed it again and it has been working. I parked it for two weeks....

Now you have a good battery & a starter that turns over the motor

Have you cycled the key on & off with a fuel pressure gauge on the
fuel rail?

Do you have a fuel filter that isn't over 3 or 4 years old?

Have you checked for spark while cranking ? Use an old plug on the wires,
if you have ignition wires,don't ground the wire without resistance

If you removed the ducting & MAF Sensor it won't start

Tell us what you checked & exactly how that was done.
