Why won't my car start

Question

i have a 98 sebring convertible and it won't start! i can turn the key and the engine sounds like it's turning on, but if i don't hold the key in place it doesn't stay on. My mom was messing with the remote earlier so we think that probably did something. Thanks in advance :)

Answer 1

Do you have an anti-theft system controlled by your remote?

Answer 2

there could be any number of problems.

most likely starter problem.

Answer 3

if you have a factor installed alarm system then try locking and unlocking the doors with the remote , or use the key and lock then unlock the drivers side door and then try to start the car
