Re: ignition problems,wont start

have you got any check engine codes? Have you checked your fuel filter? If it was running fine before (you didn't say) I'd be looking at the simple things first.

Re: ignition problems,wont start

I would suspect the fuel pump or something in that system if there are no codes (check engine light) because the fuel system is not monitored by the PCM. I know you said you think that it's working fine but are you sure? the only way to be sure is to attach a pressure Gauge. The engine turning is done by the starter so I would look toward the fuel system. As far as the wife, theres no fix for that, sorry
