It will not start

I put the key in and turn it, it makes the noise to try and start but never turns on. We got it, all we had to do was charge the battery and it started right up. Drove it home. It sat for a few days and would not start again.

So far we have changed the plugs, plug wires, distributor cap, rotor button and coil. Nothings helped so far.

Any help would be appreciated.

If it does not turn over check battery and connections do a load test most places do for free. then scan for codes and check fuel pressure with a guage.

Hello,

I am sending you an article form this site that features written instructions, pictures and a video explaining how to load test your battery yourself. I have also included a link to another article form this site that features written instructions and pictures explaining how to scan for codes yourself, and a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning. Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one online from sites like Amazon.com.
