Hey guys just this morning, i couldn't start my car, its a 99 Se with about 114,000 miles so i thought it might've been a problem with the battery, i got my friend and some jumper cables and we tried to juice it up, but that didn't work, then i put my foot down all the way on the gas and it started.. My quesiton is what do u guys think might be the problem and should i get it checked out or wait till nothing will start it?

next time it doesn't start, check to see if any of the electronics are working. (ex. headlights, radio) if they're NOT working, somethings up with your battery.

that happened to me a couple of times, and after a while i traced it to a loose battery terminal on the positive side.


also, with that kind of mileage on your car, you should check if you need a whole new battery altogether...
