Possible fuel problem
A couple days ago i was driving my car just fine, next day i went to go start it and it just wouldnt start. There's power and the engine is making somewhat of a noise but wont fire concluding me to thinking its the fuel pump or maybe my mixuture. Anyone know whats going on or had this happen to them?

Probably flooded. There's a de-flood procedure floating around here somewhere.
And by somewhere I mean in the Archives/FAQ and probably has 10-15 threads with procedure in the last month.
Search "deflood" "Un flood" "no start" "flooded" etc.

To de-flood your rx,
1) Remove the EGI fuse from under your hood (I believe its labeled EGI IGN.) ,
2) crank the car a whole bunch to clear it out.
3) Put the fuse back and try to start it.
-Make sure you have enough power (try boosting the car)
-Make sure you have enough fuel - gas gauges can lie
If the car turns over once right away better than before but dosent start, repeat the de-flooding procedure and go again. This might take 3-4 tries of taking fuse out, crancking, replacing fuse and cranking. I've had to do this a couple times works like a charm.

p.s. I have come home from a nice drive, parked the car and left it for 3 days. Gone back and shes too flooded to start. so yes its possible for 2 days
