    went to leave work today and my car didnt start, i think it might not be getting fuel or spark. the fuses look fine. 2nd time this happened to me lately, other times it will fire up fine, and sometimes its a little of a hard start. and input will help. thanks

    it could be the fuel pump relay as well.......they are kind of famous for going out on our cars.......did you try the bent tab for the relay? Or are you familiar with this...

    sounds like a starter. do you have full power, turn the key to start and nothing happens? my car does it too. i hit the starter with a wrench and it works right away.

    What our buddy ^^^^^ probably means is .. did the tow truck driver whack your car in the front or back. Front = starter, back = fuel pump.

    At first I read the whacked the car and it started as...beat the starter as well. However..if the driver told you fuel pump, then he better have been whacking the fuel tank.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
