99 Merc Sable DOHC, car cranks but engine will not attempt to turn over / start
What is your question?
After making the final stop while running errands on Monday, my car's engine had a "rough" start. It took about 2 seconds for the engine to stabilize. Once it did the car ran fine and I drove it home w/o any problems.
The car then sat on the driveway for a few days, during two of which we had below freezing temperatures (not sure if it makes any difference here).
When trying to start the car for the first time since Monday, the car cranks but the engine does not attempt to turn over or start. The battery is good and I didn't see any warning lights when trying to start it. The only noticeable sound was the starter(?) cranking over and over again.
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 1999 Mercury Sable. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
This sounds like something you'll need a professional to look at and run tests to determine the answer. You most likely won't have the equipment or references needed to do this yourself. We would be happy to do this for you. It would have to be towed in however.
