I have an 05 Chevy cavalier. I just went and

over. Any suggestions?

The battery is brand new. I drove it home one night and woke up the next morning and it wouldn’t start. I was thinking maybe a bad fly wheel. I’m trying to get as many suggestions as I can do I can go through them one by one and hopefully find the problem
