I came home from work and parked it. The car was running normal. No indication of troubles AT ALL! I got up to go to work the next day. When I tried to start the car nothing would happen except turning of the engine. I have checked timing belt, spark plugs, fuses, and battery all good. Any ideas on why my lude isnt starting?

Is there a little green keylight flashing on your dash? i cant remember if it will even crank if that lights on though...other than that.... check in this order (you already got some)ground wires, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and fuel pressure....i feel like im forgetting something for some reason though

0o0o0o0o yea did you make sure the timing belt was tight and hadn't skipped?????

codeblack

all checked looks good. except I am not hearing the fuel pressurize when i turn the key. how do i fix that?

In your helms go to page 11-123 it will tell you exactly how to tell fuel pressure. (its very easy)

When you turn the key to "ON" listen for a relay click. No click means you likely need a new main relay.

Hmmmmm.... thats weird if its not fuel pressure. erm this may sound stupid but its last thing i can think of at the time make sure you have gas in the car lol the gauge may be messed up or something shake it and put your ear up to it. dont inhale the fumes though or try to siphon gas out of the tank if you cant hear it... have you made sure your getting spark?? or just checked the plugs and distributor?

KraserK

did you check your battery terminals? battery people! BATTERY! lol

codeblack

100% sure there is gas lol. might not be getting a spark the rotor in the distributor is turning though. guess i have to change that. thanks. ill let you know if that is the problem.

KraskerK: The battery is fine.

maybe immobilzer issue? or ignition module?

codeblack

where are those? they sound like it could be the problem.....

also the fuel does not pressurize when i turn the key over. can this be caused by the dizzy?

I put some starter fluid through the intake and it started up. I then noticed it was a fuel problem.
