My vote would be it is a bit cold. Charge the bat and put a jump starter on it.

Two weeks ago it started up fine (in cold weather it usually takes about 5 tries for me). This week it didn’t want to start. After about 6 tries the engine turned and ran really bad for about a second then shut off and it did the same another 3 times. Now it doesn’t want to start. So I think it may be flooded.

I haven’t had time to get back to the 7 yet (to busy with school and work)

I also can’t jump the car do to being surrounded by RVs at the storage unit.
