Lets start this off with im not a mechanic but im not dumb either so if i dont know what something is dont bash me.

So i was driving home from school and my brake light keept coming on like flickering, well i get home and now i was about to leave and my car wont start?

It is not making any noise at all when key is turned over except when the key is all they way turned it is making some whistling sucking sound under the intake manifold? its a sohc zc

any help will be repped

dose it even attempt to crank? if it was your light flickering on the way home then suddenly its doing nothing could be your alt. went out and drained the battery dry. as for the noise i have no freakin idea.

light was flickering cause of low brake fluid
and the noise was nothing i dont think
my paps just drove it to the battery place to get them to see if the battery is dead
