Looks like more trouble has come guys
 the engine wont even start now sometimes. I get in the car and i try to start her but she just wont turn over. I changed the battery just for the hell of it even tho i know it isnt a battery problem. This has happened to me about 6 times now. What do you guys think because this looks pretty serious like something is about to fail or is heading towards failure. Thx in advance for your help.

you have to test things out one by one....
if you rear your starter turing, then next thing to do is check for spark. take out one of your sparkplug wires and have somone hold it close to any metal part of the enigne by the rubber boot. then crank the engine and have a friend check if there is a spark being created between those 2 points. if you get spark and the car is still not starting, then it must be a fuel problem. if the car starts, and then dies right off, then it could be a blocked egr valve or sometimes even the o2 sensor. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
