Re: [DML] Car wont start (continued).

You must try to narrow down to the system that is malfunctioning. At 
this point it could be either fuel or ignition. The easiest place to 
start is to pull a spark plug wire and see if you are getting spark. 
Just switching or changing parts won't usually do it unless you are 
lucky but you still won't really know what you are doing. When you are 
trying to start do you smell gasoline? Is the fuel tank empty or very 
low? You should hear the fuel pump running at least a little. Check 
and cycle the inertia switch. Measure the voltage at the fuel pump.
