If it is turning ovewr and won't start You should turn Your ignition to the second setting which is rite before it actually strt's turning over and listen for the fuel pump in the tank to turn on for about 2 second's then it will stop if You don't start cranking it over. If You can't hear anything it's probably Your fuel relay. If it is turning on check to see if You have spark going thru Your spark plug's. If You have spark and Your fuel pump is turning on do a search and You will come up with all kind of information.

I just had the same problem. One night the car ran fine, the next I went to start it and it wouldnt fire. I held the pedal to the floor and it started but ran like crap, just dumping fuel. I checked everything and ended up changing the computer, it fired and ran fine after that....

Make sure you connected everything back up correctly and double check your connections and make sure they are all tight.

Hi everyone I try everything and my car still didn't run, what can I do now??????

same thing happened to me and a buddy a little while back.
we had done a whole engine swap and the car would not start.... in his particular case it was becuase "someone" removed the fuel relay while changing the carpet.

In my case, my car didn't run becuase i set the firing order clockwise instead of counterclock wise. [Roll Eyes]
so.. might want to double check your firing order, plugs, and fuel relay... mine would want to start but kept on dying.. eventually it started for 1 sec and backfired [Razz] .
