Engine won't start... but battery is not dead
Engine won't start... but battery is not dead
Hello, My Vibe started no problem this afternoon when I left my place to buy some grocery, 30 minutes later when I am done shopping my Vibe gave me this weird problem... I turned the key and I saw the engine rev'd all the way up to 3K RMP and died off right away, however, there's still music playing. So I took the key out and tried again, same thing. a couple of lights came up, the battery one was lit up as well and the oil one ( the tea-pot looking one ) in the RPM gauge. Eventually, I tried for the 3rd time and it started off no problem then I drove home and here I am typing away... Please help.thank you

Perhaps vapor lock? Not common these days...but it can still happen.Ever hear the story about the Grand Am that didn't like Vanilla ice cream?Same thing.
YES!I still visit GenVibe periodically. I have not forgotten about my "original" family over here!
