Re: Crank, start, die. Crank, start, die. No Crank. The SKREEM!
If it won't crank on the 3rd or 4th attempt, but does after disconnecting the battery - I guess it is the SKREEM.
If it cranks and dies and cranks and dies and cranks and dies and cranks and dies - it is the battery. I had my car do that and I had a Durango that did that.
