Re: car wont start...

the fuel pump is under the back seat, quick test for the pump. with the back seat out, try to start the car, you should hear the pump if it is working...

Re: car wont start...

I did not know that, I thought every car sold in the us is required to have a inerta switch?

I am a Ford man and know them a lot better, I just own a BMW.
