Topic starter

My girlfriends 2010 kia rio lx automatic transmission. We went to autozone to get a new battery because it was almost dead. We put the new battery in and the car would crank but wouldn't turn over. We returned the battery and tried 2 other new batteries and it would still crank but not turn over. We got it towed back to our apartments and don't know where to start. Maybe spark plugs, fuel pump, starter, I don't know I'd like to get an idea before we start throwing money at. Anything helps Scotty

We returned the battery and tried 2 other new batteries

why? If battery was bad then it wouldn't be cranking

If it's cranking then the engine is turning over.

I think you're describing a "no start" condition. Or engine doesn't run.

Shoot some starting fluid into the intake and see if it starts then.

There are many possibilities. You have to start doing some troubleshooting and narrowing it down.

 


We returned the battery because her car wouldn't start some morning and we had to use a jump box to get it running. We took it to autuzone to test the battery and they said it was dead. Car wouldn't start after that. I'll try the starter fluid. Thanks for the reply

maybe it's not the battery and something in the car is just draining it


Also showing a p0626 code


yeah you have a problem with your alternator circuit (the thing that charges your battery)
