Re: Please Help :(:(
Hm, I wonder if the coil pack took a dump.
Idk, I'd like to say it's secondary ignition related. Considering my problems, I should be a pro at this shit now, haha  If your radio and stuff comes on, then you've got battery through. I think your coil pack took a dump. Idk tho... I know mine was driving fine and all of a sudden it just died and would not start because of my coils, missing ground (eroded... go figure), ICM, etc. (2.4L) What kinda motor do you have?

Can you hear the fuel pump run when you turn on the key? if not then check fuel pump fuse/relay/inertia switch/wires/pump. If you can hear it running for a few seconds then check fuel pres and the fuel filter. that will rule out fuel issues at least! (I can change my font too, lol)

Well you guys can change your font all you want, but I'm gonna stick with my really cool verdana. hahaha
Yeah, a fuel pump could do what you're saying. And the best test is to turn that key and listen for the whizzing noise from under the car, which is very noticable from the open door-driver seat position.
