Car won't start

Hey guys, I am looking for a tech article from awhile back that someone posted that listed all the troubleshooting stuff for when your car won't start. Thanks a million. BTW: It cranks but won't turn over.

Have you tried the board "search" feature? It seems to be working now...

Ok, update. The fuel injectors aren't firing so this is what I might think it is, and people add anyything if u think its wrong.

-Fuel Filter
-Fuel Pump

Anything else to check?

oh **** natke, you DO NOT want to replace the fuel pump. I had it replaced earlier this year, and got RAPED by the mechanic. Set me back about $450. It was doing the exact problem you described.

Yeah, check to see if the ECM is telling the injectors to pulse or not.
