You may have a loss of fuel pressure, have that checked first.

Might be something in your gas tank that gets stuck, I've heard of people putting whiffle balls in peoples gas tanks and that happens.

Your pendix on your starter might be stuck, lay down under blazer and tap on the starter with the handle of a srew driver or a small hamme to see if it frees the pendix. You may have a faulty starter. You can jump the starter with a screw driver to see if it works, but if your not familar with that I don't suggest you try that.

take a hammer and tap on the starter while someone tries to start it if it cranks put new brushes and bushings in it. also there is a small brass or copper bolt that goes to the solonoid. make sure it's tight and not croaded.

Suzuki wagon r+gl check engine light keeps flashing and wont start after battery change
the engine (there are more than one engine)
has a distributor.
"have spark at coil down to dizzy but no spark at plugs"
this can mean only 2 things.
1: spark wires are dead. all 4, kinda hard to believe huh?
2: the dizzy is way off time. so time the dizzy and now spark
lands on each wire term.
if not a dizzy engine, post exact version of engine and country.

84'Honda Prelude
I had exactly same thing on my boat recently...which has a car motor in it. And I also charged the battery and I also had a reading that said I had charge. HOwever, I tried another battery from a car and it suddenly worked. Don't know why, but it really was the battery. When I put the old one back in, it still wouldn't start. With a new battery it's fine. Ya just never know why sometimes!! Good luck!

Battery went flat now wont take key code in drivers door 1994 p38 range rover.did some engine work battery disconected for about a week. when engine work finished.conected batery started fine. went...
key code lock out usually happens when you have entered the wrong code too many times leaving the battery connected should allow the timer to run down for 30 mins so you can try again, it is cumulative though so the more you get it wrong the longer you have to wait. make sure battery is fully charged first.

2006 Toyota Rav 4-My battery went from fine to dead in :45. Help.
Answering your questions in order:
  1. No, there's no such device to prevent the car from starting; a battery that requires a jump start would require more than 5 minutes running time to recharge. The battery needs to be charged to work again, (unless it has a dead cell, inexpensive battery testers will confirm). A jump start is still possible but wouild require leaving the jumper cables on for at least 15-30 minutes to provide enough of a charge to start the Rav again. Charging on a battery charger is preferable.
  2. Yes; short trips and lack of use will kill a battery over time.
  3. Yes; Here is a link to the basics of checking a charging system http://www.aa1car.com/library/charging_checks.htm
In summary, most should get more than 3 years out of their battery. You've already determined that the acid levels in the battery are good (most don't even check for fluid levels). Constant charging and discharging will kill a battery and this isn't apparent in your case.
If a battery charger isn't handy, try hooking up the jumper cables and leave the other car running for at least 15 minutes. I hope this answers your questions. Best of luck.

Van wont start
you may find you have a bad earth somewhere, so i would check the earths. if you have a bad earth at wont matter how long you leave it running the charge will just dissipate, then i would check the alternator again if its not working it wont matter how long you leave your engine running it will not charge the battery.

If headlight do not come on, leave them on and start check ground and power.
If headlights do come on then locate the starter and fine something to tape on it, not too hard,
but before u can do this have someone set inside the car with the key turn in the start position...

Wont start
Start vehicle up and take vehicle to an AUTO-ZONE they will check the entire charging system for FREE. This could BAD battery or a BAD alternator or even maybe both. So let not guess or if you have a volt meter at home with vehicle running voltage at battery polls should be at least 14 volts and without vehicle is running battery should be at least 12volts how ever with voltmeter you can't LOAD-TEST battery or alternator, But if alternator is less than 14volts it may be charging too low and if batter is less than 12 after it was fully charged or after car had been running for at least 15 minutes> BATTERY IS BAD> Good Luck and contact if you need more help.
