while driving today. weird...
2 blocks from the house, it was acting funny in 1st and 2nd gear, like a jerking. right before i turned into my garage, it died and i can't get it started, had to push it in.
since, i've tried starting it; cranks, but doesn't turn over.
anyone have any ideas? this is the straw that has broken my camel's back. once i get this fixed, it's for sale. i don't have the time/energy to play around with my baby anymore.
all reasonable offers accepted.

Small dent on the passenger fender along with a small key mark on the passenger door.
Bumper has a few chips, misc. small dings here and there, but in good shape.
The windows are NOT tinted.
Passenger and back leather seats are in better than good shape.
Driver seat has a small gash and the power track works, but is jammed. Currently the seat is in the farthest "back" position.
Both seats hold air in the power lumbar.
Tranny leaks a few drops here and there, but shifts smoothy and no grinds.
Water pump has a slow leak, but I've checked it every week and the radiator is full.
Steering wheel leather wrap has a little wear and tear but is still in good shape.
Interior is clean, carpet in good shape.
Ashtray is busted.
Arm rest in good shape, but the storage area doesn't lock, closes, though.

If I can think of anything else, I'll post it here.
I'm trying to be as detailed as possible so I don't waste anyone's time.
I am the 3rd owner. I bought the car about 6-7 years ago with 53k miles and warranty.
All smog eq. is still there
Heater works great, no leaks. A/C blows cold.
Oh yeah...I'm having "issues" with the alarm.

thanks

Stupid Question but do you have gas in it?
 
Posted by castor (Member # 2765) on :
 
Yep...Fuel pump starts as well in the "on" position.

Do you have a fuel pressure gauge to confirm what your fuel pressure is?
 
Posted by castor (Member # 2765) on :
 
No, I don't...

What about spark? You have all the Spark coponents working? Plugs, wires, cap, rotor, Coil?? Check the easy things first.

I need to check the plugs, but the cap/roter are fairly new, thanks!
