First of all.... english... punctuation... It really really helps when others are reading your threads.

Anyways, you heard a clicking by the glove box? As in the ecu just fried?

How won't the car start? Does it turn over? Does it have power? Does it do anything?

I need more information

Yes it has gas. My fuel pum ain't turning on I wired it up directly and it powers up. Still the car won't start I'm guess there is no spark or fuel so it a my ecu or a relay I'm guessing.

Add some fuel to the spark plugs ... try starting it.

If you need a car that bad why not have it towed to a mechanic?
