It will not turn over and it sounds like there is no air pressure getting to the engine.

When you say it cranks but will not turn over? So the starter spins the engine over normally, but it just will not start? Also, with the key in the run position is the security light on solid or flashing on the dash?

No it is not on. I think it might be the o2 sensor. Would that cause it not to start?

No, a o2 sensor is not going to cause it not to start. I need to know does the starter spin the engine like normal when trying to start it? Or does the starter not spin the engine at all while trying to start it?

The starter does spin and it acts like it wants to start. It does sound like it is miss firing.

So the engine cranks over faster then normal?Also your engine has a chain not a belt but the chains still fail on those engines.
