don't know why my car won't start

Asked by Chase647 Mar 19, 2016 at 10:40 PM about the 2001 Pontiac Sunfire

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My car died when I came to a stop at a red light. I
didn't realize it had died until I tried going again.
After that I tried starting it and the only sound it
makes is the starter winding up. It doesn't sound
like its trying to turn over at all. Just electronic
winding from the starter. Any clue what it could
be?

    My car wouldn't start when it was 0 deg F. It started the next day when it was slightly warmer and in an unheated shop. Now I don't trust it. It turns over well.
