My car hasnt been starting. It use to be that you had to pump the gas to get it to start. Which made my brother think it was a fuel pump. But now when you turn the ignition it sounds like its gonna start then it goes to a sounds like a blet pretty much saying you dont hear much so my boyfriend and mom think its the starter. I just wanna find out what it could possibly be.

Pick your symptom: Get back with some feedback.

Cranks but no start condition:

Fuel and Spark:
Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 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, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.

No crank at all/nothing/nada:

Could be the starter, starter relay, clutch switch/park and neutral switch and ignition switch assuming the battery and connections are good.
