sure sounds like it not enough juice to crank her.

try jumping it, if it starts, the battery is done for.

yea, sounds like what my car does...its not the battery, its most likely the starter soleniod....just keep crankin the beyotch and it will start, sometimes I gotta crank mine for a good 10seconds before it clicks in and cranks the motor but thankfully thats few and far between

make sure you change new plugs and wires.. u probably have old stuff and is all black or something.. or check/change your distributor cap and rotor.. if the cap is crack, it will affect it by somehow getting wet and will never start over anymore..

this is from personal experience, u may be a diff case
