Pontiac Grand Prix 2007 3.8L V6

I’m seeking help on how to start fixing my car. The battery works, but the engine won’t start. At ignition, there’s a strange sound that I would describe as sputtering. There’s no crank. Check out the video. Please help.

    "The battery works "

    No. The battery has enough power for the dash lights. But it takes a *lot* more battery power to crank the engine than to run the dash lights. See how the dash lights go dim when all the battery power goes to trying to start the engine? So it’s probably a weak battery.

    Try a jump start, with jumper cables from another car. Or try charging the battery. Or get the battery tested.
