Car not starting - need help asap - please
I definetely need some help, I tried to start my car this morning and nothing..the starting just kept trying and trying, its like its almost gonna start but something is preventing it. I changed my fuel pump, my battery is good, my spark plugs are a bit old, but i checked each one and they all work...what else could it be???

Re: Car not starting - need help asap - please (EckoTech)
well 3 things are needed for the car to run.
spark, fuel and compression.
if you checked spark at each plug, that eliminates that. next would be fuel or compression.
get some starting fluid and spray it into the TB and give it a crank, if it pisses, moans sputters but runs for a second, you know its a fuel delivery problem.
why did you replace the fuel pump without even troubleshooting the problem?

Exactly.
Anyway....
Do you have fuel. When my car wasnt starting before it was because of two things. Fuel and timing. I wasn't getting fuel to the manifold so I fixed all that by double checking all my fuel related things to include fuses (which is what it turned out to be) and after that my timing was off soo much that my car wouldnt start.

the starter solenoid?
if the car cranks, the starter and solenoid are fine.
