Your fan isn't going to turn on unless the car is running and the CTS detects that the water coolant is too high of a temperature. If you're talking about the AC fan that won't turn on until your AC is on (obviously).
As for your problem, it's real simple, it's NOT a ground, I don't know why somebody said that, but if it's turning over, it's not a ground.
2 Steps to diagnose:
1: Check to see that you're getting a spark from all 4 wires.
2: Check your fuel pressure when the pump is primed and you're turning the engine over.
Do both of those, and you can narrow down the problem a lot more efficiently.
Also, check the power output of the battery with a multimeter - is it definitely turning over sufficiently to start the car?
That also eliminates the starter motor.
The problem's probably your igniter, check to see if you're getting a spark first.

Re: car wont start.. think it mite be dizzy (Syndacate)
im pretty sure im getting a spark from all 4 wires b/c i had the car started yesterday and i didnt really have any problems with it until it got up to temperature and then it stalled out when i hit the gas
