Havent had time to mess with it till this morning, i go to start it and it starts right up, drove it around the block and it died as i pulled in to drive way(just shut off) and now once again it just cranks and no start !Any ideas on where to start with this?

You were right...that thing was 1yr and 2 weeks old...1st time it went out it just acted as if battery was dead. No start, no crank no click.. But all good now, thanks guys !
