Well a few days ago my fuel pump went out on me so i recently just changed it yesterday. Now my car wont crank when i try turning it over with the key. Im getting fuel and spark but still wont crank. I can pop the clutch all day long and it cranks and runs perfect, but like i said when i turn the key it wont crank for shit all it does is turn over any help would greatly appreciate

Call AAA :)

jk man, so you ARE getting spark, fuel, and it just won't crank under the starter??
I'd pop the clutch down your driveway, drive it to Advanced/AutoZone, and have them do a starter diagnosis.. It COULD possibly be that. Or alternator somehow even..?

Sorry to hear that son!

You said the motor turns over, so b is probably out...but...
Maybe your starter
A: Doesnt give the rpm needed to crank an engine
B: Doesnt really turn the engine over...

Found the problem my fpr is not holding fuel pressure and also i have to be on level ground of a hill to crank it thru the ignition due to the way i put the pump wtf but other than that it runs perfect
