My battery keeps dying after parked for an hour or two. never had problem b4. yesterday i filled a flat with a portable tire pump that plugs into the cigarette lighter. is there a difference between the two ports?

These cars tend to flood from time to time, it seems you have drained the battery somewhat to a degree trying to start the car. Recharge the battery or use jumper cables from another car or good battery, hold your foot flat on the gas pedal and it will probably start. Hope this helps

KEY CYLINDER IS STUCK IN CRANK MODE. PUT IN KEY AND TURN OFF , IF THAT DOESNT WORK, REPLACE CYLINDER. KEY IN THIN SCREWDRIVER FROM UNDER CYLINDER SLIDES OUT, DROP IN NEW ONE. SHOULD WORK

Hi Ed, Its always a good idea to run the engine while using any high demand accessory. You may like to have your battery and charge rate checked, but I believe just running the engine will solve the problem for you. Connect everything first, start the engine and then turn on the pump. Regards John

it sounds like your altnator is bad

Make sure the right spark plugs was fitted first

prob the fuel pump going bad mine was doin the same thing b4 the pump died completely i changed it and its worked ever sence.to check if it is the pump the next time it dosent start have someone turn the key over dont crank the moter but turn it the hole way just b4 it starts to crank wile your lookin under the car and listen for the fuel pump to click if it dosent then thats the prob.

Do a quick check. Run a wire passed everything from the battery positive terminal to the power connector on the pump, or if you cant get to the pump directly then the first connection you can make to the pump's power supply wire. If she fires up then its a bad fuse, faulty relay or something electronic not putting the power through. If she still refuses to fire it could be the fuel filter filter (to lean), leaking fuel regulator or leaking injectors (too rich). the regulator has a vacuum line on it. If there is a leak in the regulator then fuel vapour is carried by the vacuum line and enriches the air in the intake manifold. The fuel pump has to deliver about 40 - 50 pounds of pressure to the fuel line and has to keep about 90% of that pressure for about 5 minutes after it has been switched off. Dropping pressure indicates poor valves on the pump or leaking injectors. It is not enough that the pump is effective the fuel line should be capable of filling a pint pot in about 15 seconds. If the pump has good pressure (and retention when off) but poor flow then the filter is clogged (this will also kill the pump eventually). As a final check make sure the idle air control valve on the throttle body is clean and functioning as it should.

Depends on how long he was trying to program the TPMS. With the engine not running and the ignition keys on, the day time running lights are on and the head lights are draining the battery. Next time your going to have the ignition keys on for a long period of time with out the engine running, set your parking brakes. Setting your parking brakes will keep your Day time running lights from coming on.

some batteries last shorter as expeceted. replace the battery. think it is still under warranty

Most likely the battery and possibly the alternator are bad.
