Could you clarify this issue? Does this engine CRANK OVER but will not start...or....will the engine NOT crank over? In either case, you should always pull the engine dip stick and make sure you have enough oil in the engine. Also, check the odor the oil on the dip stick. If it smells like gasoline, do not start the engine.. The engine is flooded. You also might consider trying your spare ignition key. Your vehicle may have an anti-theft system on board. If the fuel pump is bad, the engine usually cranks but will not start. Gt back to us with more info.
