so I just got back from vacation and one of the first things that I went to do was start up the lude, or so I thought.

the issue is.....when I turn the key, the dash lights up, I hear the fuel pump prime, and shut off (CEL light also shuts off) I press the clutch all the way in, and go to fire but.....nothin. No sound no cranking, just nothing.

I tried hooking up jumper cables, still nothing. Let the car sit on jumper cables with the other running for about 20 - 25 minutes, still nothing.

Anyone have any idea on where I should start to diagnose this issue?? Its difficult for me to check for spark using the screwdriver method alone (the wife is sleeping as it's close to 11PM here)

Any help would be appreciated, I need the car running Tuesday to get to work

Thanks in advance!!!
