Dead battery? Bad starter? Bad/dirty connections on battery cables? If you know the battery is good, you have to listen when the key is turned. if there is an audible "click" when you turn the key its mostlikely the starter.
No. The Sidekick is manufactured by Suzuki with a totally different engine. The Prizm is manufactured in California along side the Toyota Corolla. The Prizm is a rebadged Corolla.

A lack of fuel is the most common cause for an automobile to turn over but not start. A plugged air filter can also cause the vehicle to turn over but not start.
does the engine turn over when you try to start it. i would check that there is fuel in the tank.maybe the fuel gauge is incorrect. i would then check that you are getting fuel to the engine,and that you are getting spark to the plugs
In most cases, the engine will not fire or start if the clutch switch is bad. The key will turn in the ignition but there will be no turn-over or sound from the engine. If the engine turns over but doesn't start, there might be a problem with the fuel supply.
i have 1989 GrandAm Pontiac 2.5 engine misfire when under pressure when driving over 69mph or sitting still accelerating
this question best served under automobile section
That engine needs fuel, compression and spark to start and run. You are missing one of those.
Not start or not turn over. The engine needs 3 things to run. Air/Fuel/Spark. The spark must also occur at the correct time. If it will not turn over, supect the battery, starter, ignition switch, or corroded or loose cables.
The term 'dead engine' is usually meant to refer to an engine that wont start. The symptoms are that the engine does not start, the starter might turn it over, but that is it. No firing, no backfiring, the engine is effectively 'dead.'
engine cranks but wont start means one of these things.. Air, Fuel, Spark, or compression
More information is needed. Does the engine turn over, but not start? Have you checked for gas and spark?
