Car will not start...
 
My car started earlier today when I showed it to a friend of mine. Now, it will not start at all. It has been previously starting but for some reason it just won't start now. I don't really know exactly how to explain... just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

lol...You'll have to be a little more thorough with the description. Does the motor turn or do you turn the key and just hear a click? or do you turn the key and get nothing? Was the car hot when you turned it off?....was it hot when you tried to start it? There are some common starting issues with these cars it just depends on your symptoms.

hhmm
 
if that is the case i think you need new spark plugs.

If you have been starting the car and not letting it warm up before shutting it down, it may be flooded. However, without more information on what happens when you try to start it, we can't help with a diagnosis.

My guess is it's flooded.. but you have to be a bit more specific.

do you have spark? do you have fuel? If so, then its most likely flooded. check for compression.

I think Go48 may have figured out my problem. Sorry for not being more specific... but I do recall not letting it warm up before shutting it down. Thanks for the input guys.
