Well if the engine is cranking then the battery is fine, it could be spark plugs or injectors. Meaning you may not be getting spark or fuel, now when say it cranks does the motor actually move or does it just make a noise.

it makes the noise like its going to move then the motor kicks in every 2 seconds. the engine moves so you know its trying.

Ok dude don't listen to it. Look at the pullies are they turning?

i bet your ecu caps leaked on the motherboard. pull the ecu and see of there is black residue under the caps. is so, replace them and clean the motherboard. it will also smell like rotten seafood.

no rotten seafood smell but ill try that out.

ill also get new sparkplugs and injectors - even if i dont need them - any brand or type i should get?
