yeah my pump is priming and it's reaching as far as the filter that i can tell. usually if a wire is goruned or shorted it will blow the fuse to protect itself, would the engine still roatate and try adn start if the starter was fried?

If it was me and i was solo i would make a wire with a push button of some sort, and hook it from teh battery to the signal wire on your starter. Then pull a spark plug wire and put it next to a good ground and hit the push button to crank the motor and see if there is spark. But thats just me.

There's nobody available just to turn the ignition key?

You also may want to check the timing belt. It may have slipped or snapped.

Remove the oil filler cap and peer into the valve cover hole with a flashlight while your buddy cranks the engine. If there's no evidence of the camshaft turning, then the timing belt likely snapped.

If the timing belt is fine, then check the coil and ICM in the distributor. First, however, verify that the distributor has battery voltage.

Are you possibly seeing the rocker arms move up and down when the engine is cranking? If so, the camshaft is turning, so next move to testing the coil and ICM in the distributor.

check your spark plugs first and see if they are clean and not broken. how many miles on your engine and when did you do a tune up last?

you might also want to check your wires. or just pull out each spark plug and see if they are all getting spark. my car was doing kinda the same thing. it wouldnt start. i pulled 1 plug and it didnt spark. checked the ignition coil and that was the culprit. bought a new one and it started like ****! so i pulled all spark plugs they looked all fine but for the hell of it i checked for spark. 2 of my wires were out. so i bought some new ones
