    Car won't start-no clicking sound, almost turns over. Video attached.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkc-...ature=youtu.be

    Haven't driven my car in 6 days, the weather has been around 20 for a week. 1994 325is.

    No clicking sound.

    Any ideas on what this could be?

    Thanks.

    Um, sounds like it's turning over, so there's enough battery power. Did it stop turning over after a while?

    No, that is definitely a weak battery.

    Get that battery charged and hook up a 2 amp battery maintainer when you know you won't be driving it for a week or longer.

    Well,

    I took in to the shop and the thing started up. They had it sit for 48 hours in the single digit temperatures outside and this morning it started up without a problem. The mechanic I spoke with over the phone told me that it is most likely a fuel pump issue but I am puzzled as to why it all of the sudden started up. I wasn't getting clear enough answers and frankly, I was a little bit confused. Between his somewhat confusing, verbose dialogue, he did mention something about the engine being flooded.

    I'm wondering if I should replace the fuel pump just to be safe...

    Did your mechanic check for any codes?

    I just listened to your video again, and I don't know why everyone is saying battery. Unless there's something wrong with my hearing, the starter sounds pretty normal.

    Fuel pumps are known to fail, then work, then fail, so that could very well be your problem, but get codes read first.
