Car wont start just rolls over

[Tifflusk]

Well it all started when my 90 eagle talon awd tsi would idle very low and act like it was going to stall then yesterday after I was trying to leave work I started it and put it in reverse and it stalled and now it wont start at all, someone please give me some ideas of what is wrong. It rolls over just fine but just wont fire?

with that description there could be LOTs of stuff wrong. It would help if we new it was or wasnt geting spark/fuel.
could be coil pack , wires , ignition transister < likley.
ECU caps. fuel pump ( pump, relay etc ) CAS.

my husband took apart the fuel tank and pump and tested the pump he said it works. Someone said there is a fuel pump fuse where is that located? and could it be that?

Timing belt?

 

[Tifflusk]

The timing belt isn't broken, we are having a hard time figuring out what is wrong with it, this is the first time it has gave us a problem.

I am getting spark and the fuel pump relay is good and he tested the pump by taking it out and that worked but its not getting fuel

Did you say its not getting fuel? You could be out of gas . Or your fuel filter could be clogged . I know i broke a maf once playing with it and it would not start.

Have you noticed a fishy like smell in your car? If so it could also be leaky capacitors in your computer.

This one was from along time ago before I replaced the computer. After this the car ran fine.
