Car won't start

Went to turn the key... Nothing ... just turned over and over and over... Gas Gauge Says "E". So it's excellent. Any Ideas?

if everyones done laughing... theres three things that a car needs in order to run, fuel, air, and spark. First check if you have fuel going to the rail, then maybe check injectors (tho its unlikely they would all die at the same time) than check the coil/ distributor... if none of those is the problem... than im flummoxed...

Re: Car won't start

My car is fine...It was a joke to lighten things up a bit...Oh, $2.00 won't buy a cup of coffee here in Hawaii , but it will buy 3/4 of a gallon of gas.
