car will crank but will not start

I have never had such a proble so i am sorry but I can't help.. :-)
Could be the computer, but not likely. The first place to start is checking for diagnostic codes. If you don't have a code reader, you can probably borrow one from Autozone or another parts store. I'd recommend buying one though - they're pretty handy to have and not terribly expensive.Write down the codes, then search for the code number on the internet. How did you check for spark?
You might check this thread, too. But a starter relay doesn't make sense if you're not getting any spark. A relay would be more likely if it's not turning over. http://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Discussion-t32276_ds501179
I had the same problem, 2008 Charger, 3.5, crank, no start. No codes either. Battery good, starter good, relays and fuses all good. What we figured out was under the fuse box. One of the wires had cracked and it wouldn't allow the engine to start. soldered the wire and the car started right up. Pulled my hair out trying to figure out the problem.

Hey Derek which fuse box was the broken wire under and what was the wire for??
most of the time if you spray either into intake and its starts it is a gas not getting to the the engine problem. if it doesn't start upon doing this , its a fire problem. car not getting a spark. no GAS REACHING THE ENGINE AND IT STARTS WHEN YOU SPRAY EITHER . YOU MAY NEED A FUEL PUMP
Hey derek witch fuse box and witch wire was it i am pulling my hair out grrr
Same issues and it was the fuse panel under the hood. The connectors on mine corroded. The two wires pulled right out. Working on getting new connectors.

Hello, I have a 2010 Dodge Charger SXT 3.5 engine. On Saturday I filled my tank up with gas and got on the freeway less than 5 minutes later my car quit but my lights, radio, and I had power just not gas. So I pulled over and had to tow my car home. I did a code reader on this car and it read P0562 now I have changed the gas pedal, camshaft. I checked the battery and alternator they are both good. All my fuses are good my car has gas and I checked the fuel pump it works. I sprayed starter fluid in the throttle intake and still nothing. My car is trying to start just not turning over. I really need help. I have had 3 mechanic look at this car and they say they just dont know.

QUESTION ...WE HAVE A 2008 DODGE MAGNUM WITH A 2.7 LT ENGINE. CAR RAN BUT ENGINE WAS GARBAGE. BOUGHT NEW CRATE ENGINE. INSTALLED NEW ENGINE AND NOW IT WILL CRANK BUT WILL NOT RUN. NEW BATTERY, LIGHTS ALL GOOD. PUT ON CODE READER AND IT SHOWS NOTHING WRONG. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED.. BACKED IT IN TO THE GARAGE TO REMOVE THE ENGINE SO IT RAN.. NOW NOTHING..
I have 08 charger ,spark and fuel , won't start, common problem with the 3.5 is a timing belt or tensioner problem ,if the belt breaks you will not have fire to engine ,it throws it out of time, unfortunately the 3.5 is a interference moter , Wich means if the belt breaks you will drop a valve on to piston and bend valves , you might as well junk the car unless you have the finances to replace engine or rebuild the engine hope this is helpful , ( Alf)
Look under the fuse box and relay box under the hood
answer heck!! Im still sitting in bummers-ville with a non starting 5.7... and Ive replaced everything but the ECM... still holding on to the ecm's the last to go line i heard like 500 thousand years ago...
