Q: It will crank when I turn the key and Wont start
5 year old car battery. I got the vehicle inspected by a mechanic and he said he was concerned that my battery was dangerously near dead. I got my car jumped fairly frequently since I got it in January 2016. Until two days ago when I just got a new battery. Replaced the battery with a brand new one because my car wouldn't start even with a jump. Now my car will turn on and the engine will crank but won't turn over. As soon as I replaced the battery it started up with a few gas pedal pumps as I turned the key but it only made it down the street before it stopped running again.
My car has 105000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
