try this. turn the key all the way like your starting the car without the clutch depressed. while doing this, slam on the clutch... this should work.

What is that supposed to do?

if this starts the car, it means you have a bad clutch switch....

witepsycho

Yeah, just try it...it wont hurt anything...

witepsycho

its turning over...sounds like its either not getting fuel or a spark...changed 2 of the plugs and still nothing

rotoboy661

check for spark

egi relay??

WolfpackFD3S

Make sure the plugs are sparking. A couple months ago my ignition coils went out and the car wouldn't start. I don't think this is what happened to you because my car started running really poorly when the coils were dying but its something to check.

If all else fails, try replacing the coolant temp sensor. If its cold in your area, the car won't start. Has it been hard starting or cranking more to get started since it has been cold?

And like everyone else has said, check for spark, fuel, and all the major relays and fuses.

witepsycho

today was the first cold day in a while.....but i looked up one of the check engine light codes and it said the coolant temp. sensor...would that make my car not start??

witepsycho

anyone else have any ideas?

witepsycho

ive ruled out the fuel pump, its not that....i took it out and hooked it to a battery...its working...but when i checked it with the meter when it was plugged in, it wasnt getting power.....any suggestions anyone?....like i said...its getting spark..so its not that either...i checked the fuses i thought it was...maybe i missed something..

If the fuel pump works outside the car but not in the tank, you might have a ground in the wiring somewhere.

sounds like a coil problem

witepsycho

how can it be a coil problem if im gettin a spark...like i said, the night before it ran perfect...then the next morning BAM!!...wont start....if its a ground in the system, how the **** am i supposed to find that..
