So i'm sitting here at Ocean City Maryland in my car on my laptop. I have a little problem. My car will not start. Last night I was driving and I hit high boost and something went wrong right before I was about to turn into my hotel parking lot. So i carefully parked it and it just stalled out when I stopped. It felt like I blew a coupler when I was driving it. The rpm gauge was going crazy up and down and up and down and I felt like the car was sputtering for the 100 yards I drove it to get into a parking space. I got out and checked to see if everything was ok under the hood and everything looked alright. So I tried to start it and it cranked but would not turn over. So not I am out here this morning and it is doing the same thing. May I add I just put in a new 16g about a week ago. Same setup as my old one so I didn't have to change anything, just a direct bolt up. Someone please give me some suggestions. I am here for another week or so and I need to get this thing running. I only have internet for a day!! Please. any suggestions will help.
 
Nevermind. It is just a regular fuse. It's good and I have spark. Someone suggested that my balance shaft belt broke and messed up my crank angle sensor? Is this a good possibility?
 
Scratch that. I do not have any spark. I have fuel and every thing seems to be fine. It cranks fine but just won't turn over and start. What would cause no spark? All the spark plugs and wires are fine.
 
I'll check them out tom. Only have internet for the night however. Any other input?
 
Compression, spark, and fuel, that's all you should need. You have fuel, and unless you jumped time, you should have compression, so that means it's more than likely electrical. When you turn the key to on (don't try to start it) does the cel come on for a few seconds and then go out, along with boost gauge movement?
 
Yes the cel comes on with all the other lights when I turn the ignition and then goes off.
