My car won't stay on.

Asked by Nefmexemp Dec 21, 2015 at 01:20 PM about the 2001 Mazda Tribute DX V6

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

When I start my suv sometimes it just sits there
turning over then I'll wait and try again, eventually it
would start. This got worse in time, now it just
won't start.
