    First thing you need to establish is whats missing? Either your not getting spark, or your not getting fuel. To check for spark, pull one plug wire off at the plug. Stick a small screwdriver in the wires boot so it makes contact with the metal peice that snaps on the plug. Then lay the screw driver on the valve cover a few mm above a valve cover bolt. Make sure your not touching it, and have someone else try to start the car. If you see a spark between the sd, and the bolt, you know your problem is fuel related. If not, you know your problem is ignition related.

    yup.

    advice i was given when my car wouldnt turn over was check your fuel level, if all else fails, check your cat convetor, the cat turned out to be my problem, also make sure your timing is adjusted correctly.
