Are you talking about the key not turning all the way? If so try jiggling the key while slowly pulling it out.

No, he means that the starter will spin the engine, but the engine never starts.

jester,
There's no way for us to help you without more information. For one reason or another, the engine's either not getting spark, not getting fuel, or both. Figure out which one, let us know, and we can go from there. Until then, we can spit out a million different reasons why an engine wouldn't start...

Other things that would help to know:
Were there any other problems before this?
Was there anything you or someone else did, repaired, adjusted, or worked on prior? Sometimes a seemingly irrelevant part can be the culprit.
What has been checked and/or ruled out as a possible cause?

first thing I would do is check for spark..to the OP do you know how to do that? pull one of the plug wires out of the head and point it at a metal surface..I would use the heat shield covering your header. Have someone in the car turn the key..youll hear your car trying to turn over but what your looking for is to see a spark jumping from the wire to the heat shield..you wan hold the wire abotu a inch away...once thats determined youll hear it arcing have the person stop turning the key..replace the wire and get back to us...


does it ever start?? arter not strting? like it will be cold out side wont start, hot outside will start?
