im having problems my car wont start as the title says. its not the battery or anything basic. when i turn the key over it acts like it wants to start but it wont. think its the starter?

Walterronny

it's possible.. but when you turn the key, starter turn too? check spark plug too..

when i turn the key it sound so close to starting its crazy haha if its the starter then it wouldn't turn over as far would it?

What have you checked for? Are you getting fuel or anything? Why did this happen?

yeah what did you do to it. Just got in and it wouldn't start, or did you change the timing belt.....

Walterronny

if it's the starter , it can to turn when you turn the key or not.. but if it turns, it's possible that it doesnt has enough power for the engine, or too your engine doesnt has spark.. or too your fuel pump isnt working..

i just got in it to start it to leave my house and nothing, i checked the spark plugs and they look fine i just replaced them recently

Walterronny

you smell a bit to gasoline when you try to start your car? (i refer trhough exhaust , it's normal sometimes because the car is rich when it starts)...

well first thing you want to check is the fuses before you start spending money theres a fuse box under the dash and under the hood if the fuses are fine,pull out every spark plug and see if any of them are getting spark if none of them are getting spark then check the wires if there cracked replace then check the distubuter see if theres any cracks if so replace if not take off the cap and check the rotor if all thats fine its your ignition coil

did you what i did say you through MP? first check fuses..
