Engine Mechanical problem
2004 Cadillac SRX All Wheel Drive 118,00 miles

my car acted weird when i tried to crank it twice today, but nothing major--just now when i went out to leave it would not crank--kind of sounded like it sparked or something--lights and everything will come one, but it just wont start?

Do below

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,cap and rotor,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing
