Q: my car is an hyundia and it was running the other day I woke up to go to work and it wouldn't crank, the fuel pump works and I do

asked by on August 13, 2017

I was drive my car around and was going to park it and it died in the spot I was parking it, (I had some troubles of it doing that if I was moving slow) it hadn't ran in 2 weeks so I started driving it around getting it use to running again. I tried to start it and it doesn't crank, I hear a click and the fuel pump running but no crank, I had jumpers hocked and it still didn't crank, why won't my car start?

My car has 157214 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
