AHH starting problems

so i go to start my car this morning..and NO GO


it cranks and everything..but isn't turning over. the thing thats weird is that the rpm gauge isn't moving like usual...the rpm gauge usually bobs up and down when your starting it(make sense?) if you guys can help me out as to why its not starting that'd be great.


yes i would try and kick start it but its in the garage and the garage goes downhill..so unless i wanna run into a wall.no go. please if anyone can help me i'd greatly appreciate it.

Your sure your ENGINE fuse is good? Third row up from the bottom. Second or third fuse from the left.

replaced the engine fuse under the dash, and still no go. after i did that i tried to start the car and the car cranked but then shut off all of a sudden, and the beeping noise of the keys still in the ignition started getting more faded. the battery voltage is reading good. im not sure wtf is going on with it. but the positive terminal smells like rotten eggs now..

fixed!


so weirdest ****** problem ever..

i talked to a friend and he suggesting checking the injector fuse under the hood. so i took it out and examined it closely and it was perfectly fine. so i figued i'd try another fuse just in case. so i took out the retractor fuse and replaced the injector fuse with it and it started just fine. so im like ok its the fuse. but just for fun i try the injector fuse i originally had in there to see if it would work and it did as well WTF?!?

god damn i love rotary engines </3

moral of this story is that its working now and im happy! appreciate any help that was given. thx guys
