try squirting carb cleaner down the throttle plates or plate, while someone else turns it over, if it starts its fuel. start there

ok your going to have to pull the codes, push off and warmer on your milage center/heater controls, with the key in the on position. look in the milage center for the codes. starts out 8.8.8 and ends with 0.7.0, write them down and post them here
