The car was running/cranked perfectly before this. I went in to the AT&T store, walked out and it wouldn't crank anymore. It wouldn't even want to push start. We saw that the starter solenoid was loose, so I bought a new starter and replaced it. Still nothing. I checked the clutch switch and still no start. Fuel pump primes and all. It has a brand new battery, new alternator. All that was replaced when I did the timing belt/water pump/tensioner/oil pump back in September.

What could be the problem? I'm stumped! I need the car because its my daily! :banghead:

Thanks in advanced for any help! :pray:
 
What tools do you have around to help with diagnosing the problem? Have you pulled the plug wires to check for spark? You can hear the fuel pump and know its maybe working? Since you found the starter wire solenoid loose and then you replaced the starter, did you check any fuses after you replaced starter? Had you tried replacing the ect sensor? Checked the ecu for leaky caps? Sure your battery has atleast 13.6 volts?
 
I haven't checked the ECU, I'm gonna swap ignition relays and see if that may be the problem.

She's alive!!! Freakin noob mistake, I'm never rushing a job again! :ohdamn:
