Q: My car cranks but wont start
I just got a new battery, air filter, spark plugs, cam and crankshaft sensor and it still has problems starting. It mainly happens every morning where it takes a lot of tries to get it to turn on. It might be something with the fuel because every time it does turn on the fuel guage always has different readings. The first day it can have less than half tank and the next day it has more than half.
My car has 118000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
