Car information
For all technical questions, the following information MUST be included in the first post: vehicle (year, make, model) and engine (if not stock, year, make, model, OBD type). Other pertinent information includes check engine light (CEL) codes as well as engine modifications, such as a turbo kit tuned at 18 psi or a specific throttle body, large injectors, big cams, etc. This information is absolutely essential because, in many instances, members wishing to help in a thread waste their time by posting detailed replies, only to find out the next day that the topic starter left out CRITICAL information. Please respect members wishing to help by taking the time to list or mention crucial information about your car.

I'm not sure why you think the rules don't apply to you. If you're using a jumper harness, there's obviously something you aren't telling us.

At this point you aren't even trying, so why should we? If you aren't willing to do diagnostic tests, then just go ahead and waste time and money throwing parts at it. Don't bother asking for our help.

I had the same prob bro. Check to make sure your inner tube seals arent bad.
PULL out the spark plugs and make sure they are DRY. Wet plugs wont ignite.
either the inner tube seals are bad or a fuel injector is leaking.

For the love of mother f'ing god, OP check the diagnosis 101 link and do some proper tests before coming here and mouthing off all the **** you think is right with your car.
How do you know you are getting spark? How do you know you have proper fuel? What the **** is "won't turn over", is that supposed to mean the engine doesn't crank or doesn't run?
I don't know how some people make it through life...

I'm not really trying to be a dick towards you, its just these guys come in here asking for help and they refuse to help themselves or even do the bare minimum to fix their issues.

Its cool man i get where you are coming from. Everyone should do their own research prior to coming in here. either way being stuck on your vehicle sucks and i hope this guy gets it running smooth.
