Car no run!!!
Ok well I was driving my car today and stop at Murrys. Go in come out and go to start my car. Just cranks. Turn key off and turn on(listen for fuel pump) nothing. Lift carpet and look to see if te light is on...NOPE....Check ecu fues and its all good. Listen for main relay to click and it does....When I crank it seems like im getting no spark...And when it cranks it goes duh duh then cranks...Its like in the middle of the crank it tries to start then nothing but spin....

Re: Car no run!!! (MrPotatoeHead)
you need to verify that you are getting spark and fuel.
right way: spark tester or timing light hooked up while cranking
fuel pressure gauge
easy way: pull a plug and crank with plug exposed ...watch for spark
crank engine then pull plug, see if it is wet with fuel
if you aren't getting spark, i'd start with checking the ignition switch for continuity, look in a service manual for which plugs to check.
if you aren't getting fuel, i'd start by ohming out the fuel pump and checking for leaks. you can also see if the injectors are firing by placing the end of a flathead screwdriver on the body of the injector itself. put your ear on the end of the screwdriver with the handle. you can hear a tap every time the injector fires. you will also be able to tell how strong or weak the injector is.

Re: Car no run!!! (sidewayz32)
the main relay actually has 2 relays in it mine wasnt workign right and i was hearing one of them click but the one for the fuel pump wasnt clicking so it didnt send power to the pump or injectors try jumping the #1 and #7 i believe they are they white/yellow wire and the black/ yellow wire to get ypur fuel pimp to run
