i just bought a used car and whenever i start it, sometimes it doesn't start the engine never moves it just dies whenever i first got it it did this maybe 1 out of 3 times now it seems to do it alot more and i have to constantly keep turning the key. I told a mechanic about the prob when i first got it and he suggested using injection fluid to clean it. I did that and it is still doing it and its hard for me to trust the mechanic cuz he really isn't that good and i've wasted about 300 dollars on him just guessing on things figured i could get u guys to do that for cheaper  . Any idea what it could b would b greatthanks alot. -- Posted at author's request, using fully moderated http://www.AutoBoardz.com/GM-forum-46.html interface |

The first step would be to let veryone know: Year, Make of vehicle, Model,
Engine size. Then an easier to understand explanation of the problem
wouldn't hurt either. I sure can't figure out what you just wrote above.

easier to read.
You're right in that you got taken by this "mechanic". If his work is like
his advice, he's no mechanic. What you should do is take the car back to
where you purchased it. Any dealer has to stand behind a purchase for some
period of time - in every state. Private individuals have to also. Even if
the car is sold "as is", as long as it's sold to with the expectation that
the car is drivable, private individuals have to stand behind the sale, or
take the car back and return your money. Talk to a lawyer about this.
There's no point in spending any more of your money - money you should not
have spent in the first place, trying to fix a problem that someone else is
responsible for.
