Hi there
First try putting some easy start in the airbox to see if it's a fuel problem
if it makes an attempt to start it's a fuel related problem
first go to the front of the car and check the fuses then if they all check out try the fuel pump relay
it's in the fuses and relay box at the rad on the right

hey bro, thanx alot for that, i'll give that a look in the morning as its dark now, whats easy start by the way? i'm not sure i know wot that is..

easy start is starter fluid that comes in a aerosol can. you spray it down throught the throttle body and try to start the car. if the car starts then dies then its a fuel problem, if it doesnt and just keeps cranking like what its doing now then its electrical.

does your car have a distributor or a coil pack thing?? any check engine codes??
