are you getting fuel? is the pump turning on? to check if the pump is turning on. turn the key to run, dont try and start it tho. for about 2 sec you should here a kinda wine noise...its really quiet so listen. it helps to have the door(s) open (at least on my car it seems louder on the outside). if you can not hear anything it is most likely your main relay...

I second this, I had the same issue with mine. New rotor/distributer cap/and ignition coil fixed me up*

Re: Car Won't Start!

i had the same problem, intermitent starting, thought it was the fuel pump, it wasnt making the priming sound, but actually it ended being the ignition switch. easy and relatively cheep fix, at least compared to a fuel pump.

Re: Car Won't Start!

usually its ur main relay, the moisture gets into the solder points on the cicut board and dosnt make a complete connection, therefore not allowing the car to start. This is a fairly easy and cheap fix. The main relay is located under ur change box on the left hand side of the car. beside the fuse panel. one bolt and a plug and its off
