Hello, Lets see if you guys can help me. My wife car 1993 Geo Prizm 1.6L will not start but it acts like it wants to start, I am hering the fuel pump come on, so I have ruled that out. I have put new plugs in it as of this morning still nothing, I need to get this car fixed so she can get to work and back, and I can have my car back. Please Help.

Cranks but no start condition:

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.
