Rough idle, stalled out and no the motor will not turn over
What is your question?
Car ran fine. Then I tried cranking it and the idle was rough and it would stall out. Motor would not stay cranked. Now motor won’t even turn over. Battery is less than 6 months old. Brand new spark plugs. I turn the key dash lights come on but when trying to crank there is nothing. Engine doesn’t turn at all.
What makes this problem better or worse?
Nothing
