Did you check for trouble codes? Is the fuel pump working now? Even if the fuel pump is working, it might not start because the fuel injectors are not firing and that can mean a fault with the camshaft sensor or engine computer.

Hi MILLER SCOTT,

I am sending you a link that if you decide to conduct the scan yourself (as KHLOW asked) it will be a great help to you. The link features an article with written step by step instructions and pictures explaining how to do the scan yourself. Also, I have included a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning.

This is applicable even if your check engine light is not on.

Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one online from sites like Amazon.com

Once you have the code number(s) please get back to us so that we can further assist you. We are always happy to help.

Thank you for visiting 2CarPros.com.

Kindest regards,

Renee
