Starving for fuel. Start by making sure the fuel pump is running. Turn the ignition on without starting the car and listen for the pump. It should run for a few seconds and then shut off if you don't start the engine. If you hear nothing, check the fuse. If the fuse is good then it can be a defective fuel pump relay, pump itself, or on rare occasions a bad computer. If you hear the pump run and then shut off, suspect a clogged fuel filter, defective fuel pressure regulator, or an extremely weak fuel pump that is running but pumping no fuel.
before checking ur fuel system if ur not getting gas check ur fuse box under the hood i had this problem an it was the master fuse in the box in my car it was a 30 amp fuse that caused a list of problems aswell as not starting

Why won't the crank spin?
Battery, battery cable or connections, starter problem, ignition switch not working. Be more specific please.
I get a single click from the starter but it will not crank what is my problem?
your battery is dead or the starter solenoid
If you have power going to the coil and starter but the engine does not turn over where is the problem?
does the motor spin..ie..crank? if no possible locked up engine..try spinning it by hand..correct size socket on front crank bolt turning clockwise.. possible bad starter motor does the starter engage when the key is in the crank possition. if the motor does crank your looking at a fuel or ignition problem
Why did your 1992 Geo tracker 4 wd crank and then cut off and wont crank back?
crank sencer When I had the same problem it was the starter solenoid. It is built on the starter so you have to replace both. After the starter/solenoid was replaced I had no more problems. P.S. If you take it to most major auto parts places they can check the starter but not the solenoid mine showed good but after I replaced it I never had that problem again.
Your 2001 cabrio wont start it has a new battery why wont it start?
You need to determine whether your problem is a "no crank" problem, or a "no start" problem. To determine if it is a "no crank" problem, you will need to make two jumper wires. The first jumper wire should be about 6"-8" long, clips on either end, about 18g wire. disconnect smaller gage wire wire on the starter solenoid and jumper it with your jumper wire. Turn the ignition key on and then using another heavy gage (about 10 gage) wire, go directly from the positive terminal of the battery to the terminal on the starter where the battery wire connects. The engine should crank over. If it does not, replace the starter. If it does crank over, then you don't have a "no crank" problem, you have a "no start" problem, in which case this may be an issue with the alarm system. I goit lucky in that my problem was the starter, and not the alarm system. I performed the trouble shooting that I described above to determine that it was a bad starter. I replaced the starter, and all is well!
What would cause your car to not crank after it has been running and then turned off?
Discharged battery possibly or trouble with starter.
Why won't my 1991 dodge caravan crank?
start with the basics is the battery dead ? if not its most likely a starter problem .if the starter is fried you need a garage
What could be the problem your ignition turns but will not crank the car?
If you battery has plenty of power, either faulty contacts in ignition switch or starter motor, or faulty starter motor.
Have a 1990 geo prizms that want start went it hot?
This is a pretty vague question. Does it crank and not start or just won't crank?? If it won't crank at all, it could be your starter is getting so hot that it's swelling inside the housing and won't rotate. Once it cools off some, it contracts and rotates again. Please be more specific in describing your problem.
2000 Lincoln ls v8 wont start. gauges go max.?
probably the starter at least that is where I would start at anyway. I had the same problem but after so long the car would crank and I was told the starter but have not had problem again.
Will a starter crank but not start if the relay switch is bad?
Usually when a starter solenoid/relay switch is bad, you will hear only a click and the starter will not spin (crank).
What if your car does not crank?
Could be a dead battery, broken starter, broken solonoid, or an electrical problem like a broken wire, or fuse.
