Car won't start, it turns over but it has no spark, so thought before I drop the fuel tank and replace the in tank fuel pump, I wanted to see if the emergency fuel switch maybe is what shut the car down. Where is the inertia switch in the vehicle listed above turbo charged?

Your vehicle doesn't actually use a shut off switch like the older vehicles did. So that means we are going to have to confirm this is a fuel issue another way.

However, you said it has no spark. Do you mean it just does not start? It cranks but does not run? We call this a crank no start.

Or did you mean that there is no spark at the plugs? If you have no spark at the plugs then this is not a just a fuel issue.

I suspect you meant it is a crank no start. so here is a guide that will help with this:

I would suggest with checking the fuel pressure just to find out if the pump is priming.

Let's start with this info and we can go from there. Thanks

Can you tell me where the fuel pump control module is located?

Appreciate your help.
