    So I've been hanging around the forum searching for trouble shooting to fix typical issues with these cars.
    Since I purchased the car it's had a rough idle but nothing major until this week.
    The only night my SES light came on, then started flashing which I read means a misfire.
    So after researching I read it could be a bad spark plug, wire, coil pack, fuel filter, etc.

    I put all new NGK plugs in, new fuel filter and tried Seafoam as well.
    Upon puling the plugs I found this one broken which I assumed was gunna be the issue.
    After new plugs, new fuel filter and seafoam I took it up to walmart, the car was still running horribly.
    Ses light was still flashing, while coasting down hill I revved the car up to 4000 RPM's. The car instantly died.
    I tried jumper cables, starting fluid, and pulled a couple plugs to see if there was something evident.

    When I turn the key forward it instantly shuts down, It gives a .5 second attempt to start then stops. Won't turn over, even though the car has power, it does nothing.

    Has anyone had any issue remotely close to this? The car has 101,500 on it so I'm praying the motor isn't seized.
    I purchased this car less then a month ago. I'm really hoping it's not junk.

    Any input is very appreciated. Happy Thanksgiving everyone
