Go to the auto parts store and get a troubleshooting manual and a technical manual for the car itself. Try the cheapest things first... could be as simple as a bad battery or bad cables to the starter motor... go from there. But take it slow. Also with an unknown car, get some towing insurance and a good cell phone for emergencies. I'm not sure if your area has AAA road side service insurance... in California it's about 47.00 a year for the basic coverage for two towings and other services that they have... but it comes in handy on those cold dark nights when the car is having a bad day.

Hi there, is your car still giving you a problem starting? If it is, the problem is air, there is air in your injection system. I had the same problem with my 1995 CTI, it's easy to fix, you can do it yourself, all you gotta do is bleed the airflow meter, put the ignition on and leave it on, make sure the fuel pump is working continuous, open the bolt on the airflow meter where petrol feeds through and bleed the system until there is only petrol in the system and nothing else, and then it will start!
