First you need to find out if you have fuel/spark then report back. The *safe* way to check for spark is to buy an inline spark tester thats available at most auto parts stores. Fuel is easy to check for, once youve cranked it over for a few seconds the spark plugs should be wet with fuel, this will only tell you if theres fuel but is a free and easy test

Did you check timing belt to see if it jumped or broke?

First of all let me say, "Thank You for replying to my delima" Secondly, OMG !!... i switched the key off & removed it frm the ignition. Waited around 15 mins & then tried it again - boo-bam, hot damn IT STARTED ! But, happy as i am, the hard fact is that this was not the first time this problem has occured. TBH, its done this exact same thing a handful of times over the last 4 or 5 months just never took as long or had to turn over as many times as this last one So, i cant help but worry that its not going to have me in a bad way again very soon & i have got to find out WHAT, WHY & WHERE the cause of this problem IS !!!... and ASAP too, so i do still need & will greatly appreciate any & all suggestions as how to correct my •firing• issue(s) Sincerely, "Dont Leave Me Stranded & Abandoned in South Georgia's Heat"
