    Default Car wont start FML

    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

    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.
