How about the A B C's of auto repair, does it have spark, fuel and compression? And you can be sure of one thing, most board members will not search out your previous post to see what you wrote if you wont take the time to search yourself. My guess is the NO Start question has been asked oh about 10,000 times. I am figuring that the answers will do it for you as well.

Merged threads
And your descriptions of the problem is poor. Thousands of owners have had issues with not starting, have you even started to search?
Are the plugs wet? is the car flooding? how are you starting (using throttle or not?), are all the lights and gauges coming on when the key is in the on position?
The car cranks over, but does not start? or cranks over, starts, but then dies? If it is dieing after starting, then you probably have a big vac leak.
Please be as clear as possible with both the title and thread contents if you would like a response.
