Can you hear your fuel pump prime (buzzing type sound) when the key is in the on position? Do you get pressure to the fuel rail? to the fuel filter? If you dont even get pressure to the fuel filter, then its probably your pump.

then check your fuel pump...easy if you dont know how the priming noise sounds like..just crank your car a few times and then pull out your spark plugs....they should be wet...if your getting fuel but the car is just not cranking then your fuel pump should still be working..if its just dead dry then your pump is dead...

Yar, waht he said above. But if you have a kill switch, sometimes the connection goes bad. Check your wiring and if anything, try it without the kill switch and if it still doesn't work then you may have a bad fuel pump.

your main relay will also tell you if your getting fuel....try switching it from your brothers car to yours..see if that could be the problem...i tried it on an accord before...it would crank n spark but no fuel...heard the fuel pump priming so did research on HT and some say that could be the problem..after i went and got a used one for 3.00 i finally started to get fuel and got the biotchh running....

now that your getting fuel. check your distributor. I beleive Autozone checks your ignition coil for free. could also be a bad cap or rotor...check your spark plug wire orders just incase you put them in the wrong order. another thing you can check is jack up your car and turn your crank pulley counter clockwise until you line up your tdc marks to make sure you didnt jump a tooth

the motor just cant all of a sudden have no compression....checking your compression is only accurate when your car is at normal operating temperature...im sure if all your cylinders just lose compression then your just not doing something right...

if the motor is flooded with fuel it will wash the cylinders and give you low compression
