I checked the battery and it was at 12.6V. I tried to start it and no go. Any ideas?
To be clear, (we are trying to help several people on here at once, it is hard to keep strait who has what symptoms):

Question 1:
When you say, "I tried to start it and no go." Do you mean the starter would NOT engage or do you mean the starter engaged and engine turned over and over, but would not start?

Question 2:
If the starter will not engage, get in the car, turn to 'start' (to verify is it not working at this time) and if it will not engage the starter, leave key in "on" for 30 seconds. Does engine fan warp up to very high speed in that 30 seconds?
