Default Re: Won't Start problem

As it turned out though, it was not the fix for my no start problem. Looks like it was a mal-adjusted RFID antenna ring. But before I start doing a "happy dance" I'll have to see if my no start condition returns. ( BEING 75 I HOPE I NEVER HAVE TO GO THRU REMOVING THE LOWER AND UPPER DASH! IT BEAT ME UP PRETTY GOOD TRYING TO BE A CONTORTIONIST GETTING TO ALL THE SCREWS AND DEALING WITH BRITTLE PLASTIC PARTS! )
@ 1249 ESTime: I knew it was too soon to do that "happy dance!" Used car several times yesterday and all morning morning today, start and stop errands, with no problems! Came home a few minutes ago and was going to move cars around in driveway and wouldn't you just know that the "damn" car did same symptoms of 3 times no start and 4th time wouldn't do anything! Just "knew" it was the RFID antenna being mis-aligned! How could it be the faulty "SKREEM" that is making me scream! Seems it would be bad all the time and not just sometimes. Now I have to "humble" myself to my neighbors, who have been watching my efforts, ​​​​​​ to help me push it away from the street. Tell me "Pizzaguy" the error of my ways! LoL

Up date @ 1:15 Today Removed battery cable, as suggested, and replaced after 30 seconds. The car started right up. MSS said if it did not start it would definitley be a bad SKREEM. So where do I go from here? Maybe a bad RFID antenna ring?
