Help PLEASE

My car wont start. The lights come on and the battery is fine cuz I tried to replace it. I've tapped the gas and held down on the gas but here nothing in the engine. It was 24 degrees and I turn the key and only here a chugging noice but no engaging by the engine.

Year/Make/Model?

When you say chugging noise I am assuming that the engine is cranking over, right? If it is cranking over is it cranking slowly? If so a discharged battery could be the problem. If its cranking over normally it could be fuel related.

Re: Help PLEASE

there is no main relay. was there anything leading up to this? hows the oil level/life? does the oil get dark/dirty fast after a change? is the "chugging" noise even or uneven? any engine noise/rattling before? ever replaced the ECT?

i'm probuilly over analizing.

if you have a crank no start i would first pull the plug wires off the coils, have a second person crank the engine you should see a spark tower to tower, if you don't, check the DIS fuse and CPS. then check fuel pressure and injector signal, and check the intake for resictions
