I have a 1999 Eclipse Gs. I turned the car on and drove it for like 2 minutes, and turned it off. Then when i tried to turn it on again, it just didnt start up. It didnt even crank also. I had to push my car back like 1 block. Then we jumpstart the car, and it started. Test drived it around the block, and turned the engine off. Tried to turn it back on, but it wouldnt turn back on. We hit the battery a couple times, and it start right up again.
The next day, my dad went to look at the car. He started the car right up with no problem. Turned it on twice with no problem. Later in the evening, I tried to get it turn on, and it just wont turn it. I heard a cranking noise near the radio.

Any help would be appreciated...---------->auto

'I popped the hood, n closed the doors. How noobish of me, i locked my keys in my car. I only have one key and one alarm. Now, I'll have to spend more money opening the car now.'

Oh that's normal. Dad's can always get your busted arse vehicle working... mine's the same way.

As far as the dying thing, is it stick or auto?

I had that problem in my Nissan Pick-up. Don't know if this will help, but its worth a shot. The terminal clamps on the battery are loose. Try to tighten them some more. This results in the car starting sometimes, such as 2 or 3 times in a row, especially if it hasn't moved. The bumps and dips in the road cause the battery to move, so it loosens up the terminal clamps. If they are cracked and don't tighten, you may have to get new clamps.

The way I fixed it, is I got some "quick release" clamps.

Kinda something like that.This way, when you need to add stuff (amp power wire) you just attach it to the left piece in that picture. The right piece is always attached to your battery. It makes it easier when you need to work on anything where you need to disconnect your battery, you just twist that knob and it unhooks.

Hope that helps...

My dad did everything he can with the battery... cleaned it, and put everything back on. [while i was stil sleeping]. He turned it on afterwards. but when i tried, it wouldnt turn on.

thats what happened when my alternator went bad it would start sometimes but only for a short while then nothin even when my alternator belts broke so it was like there was no alt. before i realized the belt was gone it wouldnt turn on then i would wait about ten minutes and it would fire right up wouldnt last long about ten minutes then completely dead so u might wanna check ur alternator just a thought and it could also be loose or corroded batt. terminals but nevermind u said ur dad checked that just a thought tho something to look at....

or u could check the fuses maybe thats it just a thought

i was thinking the alternator also, but wasnt soo sure. didnt want to waste money on things i didnt need.

replace the battery. it has an intermittent short in one of the cells

I tried starting the car and i keep hearing a cranking noise from the fuel pump. so i think its the fuel pump. and when we try to charge the battery, the battery keeps on going weird. do i might think its the fuel pum and the battery. so i will try those two first. can u guys give me a site to find the fuel pump for a cheap price. no performance part fuel pum.

I think its the battery

ill try a new battery first then

good idea it is a rare occasion when the fuel pump fails

alright, thanks for your help(everyone), ill reply asap, when i change the batterys
