I'm thinking a problem with the battery and/or connections . Have the battery load tested for a dead cell . If the battery or terminals are bad there will be no power to let you get the key out and there will be no cranking noise either . A faulty CPS will allow the engine to crank but not fire

Several reasons, some of which I have to guess at as you don\'t give manual or auto. In auto it could be the lockout switch that stops you starting other than in P or N going \'open\' so it thinks it is in gear, same thing happened to my Mercedes A170 CDI. This can be either in the gearbox or the selector lever depending on the car and model.Generally speaking; Connection to the starter from battery or starter motor, Check both by running a jump lead from battery to main input to starter (connection from starter solenoid to starter) and see if it cranks but take care of moving parts if it does, there will be a spark.Problems with ignotion lock, if you swing a bunck of keys on the lock you WILL mess up the barrel internal connection. If the dash lights go out when yuo crank the probably battery, any battery over 4 years old is suspect do not use a jump but a new battery to test, (borrow one and SWAP over, do NOT use leads.

can take it to a mechanic and they can clear the fault codes...generally they charge to do that ...some do some dont, but ive also heard if you rally ahve fixed the problem that after enough ignition starts the fault will clear on its own. good luck

I would recommend having it hooked up to a machine that tells you the problem codes

P0410 is: Secondary Air Injection System Malfunction.
This may be caused by water being collected ib the Air pump or the vent solenoid and frozen or corroded the pump, also could be a blown Air pump fuse caused by the pump freezing up.

THE SOLUTION:
Replace the Air pump and the one-way check valve.
Replace the Air pump inlet hose.
Replace the Air pump fuse locayed under the hood.



I hope this helps you out....

I would take it to a transmission shop right away, because it sounds like your torque converter is starting to go.

Check the petrol cap and crank shaft sensor any other symptoms

Does it click or do anything? If not, then the plastic gears inside the ignition that control the vehicles ACC and ON positions along with the cranking may have slipped. Have someone to pull the ignition switch panel and check and make sure the "gears" are working properly.
