Car won't start any ideas

primetizzle · August 22nd, 2011, 07:34 AM

So I go out to leave for work and the car wont start. It has plenty of juice and it tries to crank but nothing. It's almost like it's not getting any fuel. I checked all the fuel lines and even checked the cut off switch in the trunk...Any ideas?

You checked the fuel lines, but did you check the fuel pressure? If so, what PSI was it at? You need to do this to know whether your getting enough fuel. If you don't have one you can get a fuel pressure gauge at most auto parts stores for about $20.

Are you getting spark? If not check connection at coil. You may also have a bad TFI module.
