Thanks for the reply. The battery was a few months new when I parked the car in my driveway (due to a tranny problem that i havent had looked at yet). I had a trickle charger on the battery for 24+ hours and the car still wouldn't start but it would if I boosted it with another car or a mobile booster pack. I've had to boost the car to start it several times before. This last time, even with a jump from a van and a mobile booster pack, no start but all the power windows,lights etc in the car worked when hooked up to another power source.
The gas may be stale because it has been sitting for a long time with starts once in a while. I'm going to try the trickle charger again and some new gas and hopefully that helps. I have another T5R in my garage (which is another project in itself) but its battery is dead too. I might buy a battery and try it out on my purple brick in the driveway and if it doesn't help, i will just keep it for the black brick in the garage. Again, thanks for the reply.
