So recently the last month or so My 2002 pontiac sunfire has been having some issues starting up. I am Very inexperienced with cars but I have owned this car for 3 yrs.
When I go to start the car it would not start up, but shake and make the usual starting sound and just shut down. Then I would wait for a minute and try it up again and would work fine. This happened almost everyday I used the car but it always seemed to start up on the second try.
HOWEVER, today i was going to lunch with a friend and when i was leaving the car wouldnt start 4 times. It would make the usual sounds, then louder clicking noises, and start shaking. It started up on try 5.
When I got to her house, I shut her down and tried to start her up just to make sure a problem wasn't occurring. She rumbled loudly, shook violently, and shut off.
I got a jump from my dad, gray smoke blew out of the hood when I attempted to start the car. and the car just died. The battery isn't the issue.
I got a free TOW from AAA but the repair shop is closed till monday morning.
--Does anyone know what could possibly be wrong (Starter/Alternator/fuel pump?)
--Possible costs of Repair?
