I parked my 07 cobalt ltz the battery drained and wont take a jump now it wont start or crank

Hello Pamela.
no year car, no engine type stated (gas/diesel, and displacement)
but does it crank? you meant no crank right?

jump starts, tells me the battery was dead.
then you ask way it stalls or not restart.
well it repeated, to the same symptoms did it not?

but my guess, is , it will not crank.
if yes, that is a discharged battery !
batteries can be good, bad, or only discharged.

all cars do that for many reasons,
1 or 2 tests and bam why.
1: rusty battery lugs. clean them
2: bad battery, (some last 3 years and bad)
3: bad charge system. is the lamp glowing telling that fact?
4: a bad key line,

if it always fails,and always cranks JUMPER cable jumped, that means it not #4

so if not number 4 then we use a thing called
a volt meter, if the battery is 12.6vdc or more rested, then the battery is charged,
if you jump the car and it runs and battery voltage
(that meter again across it)
read 13.3v top 15v all is well.with alternator.
is charge and battery lamp glowing running?
if below the alterator charge system is failing.
if the car dies, driving to work and Head lamps go dim the charge system failed.
if your starter does dead, just parked at work and when sleeping?
this is called phantom drain. (can be lamps left on or other things)

I think you made and error,
"car runs then wont crank" is what meant.
the word is crank and is super important to getting correct answers.


on a wild guess, no cranks.

if you wanted wild useless guessing
here, ill do that. makes some happy.
the charges system is failing.
or
the glove box lamp sticks on and battery drains as you sleep
there 2 guesses
can to 50 more.

if compression is good and has fuel

not running after the wash down
has to be coil or spark related

Have the starter checked.

do you have power even if lights go on dosent mean there is enough power to start ,did you try jump starting to get it to crank over

some vehicles have a safety switch that if low on oil it will not start

A battery from 07 is still decently new to be that bad, but I would check the alternator first, just get the car running and unhook the positive cable from the battery, if the car dies the alternator is bad.

i have a 05 cobalt SS Superchaged and i bought it new and had to warrenty two batteries and i put another battery n about 7 months ago

P0336 means Crankshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Range/Performance. Try replacing the crank sensor next.

make sure the battery termanals are tight,, give it a jump and see, can't hurt.

Can you turn on the lights? If not, then the battery is dead. Time to get a jump.
