At first I thought it was the battery, since I just got back from vacation. But my brother drove my car over from the guest parking lot fine last night.
This morning I tried to jump the car, but it still won't start. The battery appears fine as for radio and lights work. When I turn the key I hear a sputtering noise, as if it is trying to spark but it won't catch. The light that shows the engine and a "CHECK" underneath is on, and it stays on solid until I turn the key then it sputters. The manual sais that has something to do with emissions control but that doesn't make sense.
Anyways, I have no idea what to do. I called roadside assistance but its Sunday and I start classes tommorow, so I need to get back. All they offer is for my car to get towed to a dealership which doesnt help at this point.
Please, any help would be greatly appreciated. But I know very little about engines and what not.
I have a 2002 LS Cavalier with less than 17000 miles if that helps. <br>

mine did the same think and it was because of the power terminal their wasn't enough wires that weren't corroded so i cut it off and respliced it back on and hooked it back to the battery and it started up like a charm. Check you power and ground connections on the battery
