When you open the door the the dash lights up, the marker lights blink, even if you have not put the key in the ignition

the engine turns over but I don't think it is getting any fuel

I sprayed starter fluid in and it will crank and sputter but not stay running

is there some sort of an anti theft system that could be turned on in error?

It appears to me that the fuel is turned off...

we couldn't find any bad fuses etc...

the lights blinking has me wondering what is going on.

 

pump your gas pedal about 10 to 15 times all the way in and out rapidly, and then try, make sure ur car is in park and NO accesories are runing (Radio, ac, lights) make sure filter is clean too. if that doesnt work then check your spark plugs and the spark plug wires and if they are all in correctly but make sure u dont mix the wires up while doing so. and from what i know there is no anti theft system that will let u turn the motor just not start it...

 

that doesn't explain why it has the flashing marker lights and the dash lights lit up when you open the door. Something is going on beyond being flooded etc....

it beeps too...
