I turn my car over. It will start but quickly shuts off. The rpm gauge stays at zero entire time. Also there are times where nothing will happen when you turn the key. You don't even hear the start try to kick out. Any info you could give me would be of great help.

Have you checked to see if there is spark and fuel to the engine?

Okay... The first thing we need to know is if the pressure is within spec. You will need to check that. There are directions on our homepage under the DIY section along with a video. If the pressure is within spec, then you need to check the injectors to see if they are getting power because even though the pressure may be good, the injectors may not be delivering the fuel to the engine.
