Hi guys well my car started great from work to home then on my way home the idle dropped and I had to gas it to the floor to keep it running. Pulled over and it died went out adjusted the fuel air mix a little and she started right back up then drove for a sec then she died. The starter worked for 3 tries and now the starter will not even click. It has new starter, new wires, and new battery. Any idea what is going on or how to fix it. Thanks guys

Does your battery still have charge in it. After that many starts in a row it could be dead even if its new.

yes battery is at 12.7 with 532cca should have 550cca and all fusible links are good.

did you do the basics liek check that all the wires connecting the starter and whatnot are still connected. If its not even clicking anymore it would suggest there is a disconnect between power, switch, starter and maybe the solenoid. Id start by checking all the connections and whatnot. Thats for the no start

The no run, when was the last time you changed you fuel filter?
If recently, is your fuel pump operating.

First thing is to figure why the starter is not turning it over/clicking/operating

then we can diagnose the running issue

Turn on the headlights, then try to start the car. Do the headlights dim while cranking?

Sounds to me like you lost your alternator. Running on battery juice alone until that ran out....
