nah.. just filled up with cheap gas prices
it sounds like an old man coughing... but keyless entry still works. interior lights still works.

I wonder if your distributor is bad. Coughing...hum, maybe a cylinder or 2 is not getting a spark. It happened to me before.
Really hard to tell on the internet like this. You should take the car to a shop.

you didnt' by chance filled your car with diesel ba???

or it could be a flooded engine...did you press on the gas pedal when your car refused to start?
if so, you might have flooded your engine...(if not, then dont try this) try start your car while flooring the gas pedal

or it could be faulty fuel line, clogged or something

btw...what kinda car do u drive ar?

Ok, good to hear... sound like distributor and/or distributor caps then... :) hehe it happened once on my 400SE.. 3 of the 8 cylinders are not firing and occasionally won't start.... turned out both distributors, distributor caps and 2 of the coils were bad....

Anyways, good luck and keep us posted...
