Starting Problemsss!

Ive been trying to figure out why my car wont catch.
Its not popping so i know the starter is fine.

I can just hold the key and it just wont kick.
Any ideas?

Its a pretty mistreated car, should I try changing some sensors and relays?

Re: Starting Problemsss!

Are you saying the motor just spins over, but no fire? Have you checked to make sure it's getting fuel and spark?

You can pull a plug out and hook the wire back up, have someone spin the starter and ground the plug to the manifold to see if it is firing. If it is, then check to see if you are getting fuel to the throttle body, also check the fuses to see if the pump fuse or any others are blown.
