/o/

This morning I tried to start my car, initially the key would not turn. When the key did turn, the car wouldn't start. I kept trying and eventually it started but immediately died again. It did this a couple of times.

Any guesses as to what it might be? My initial thoughts are it might be something to do with the choke valve? I have my battery on charge and am going to try again in an hour.

Pic related: it is my car (07 Lancer), if it makes any difference.

Its a Mitsubishi lancer is the problem. Or fuel pump/filter. Or its not getting spark. Turn the key to the on position and see if you can hear the fuel pump.

OP here.

I'm not hearing the fuel pump when I switch the ignition to the ON position. Is this a likely culprit?

If so, how2fix?
