I'm having problems with it starting; if someone can please give me a list of any possible things that can go wrong with that car I will gradually appreciate it. I bought a new fuel pump and I'm hoping that I got it in there right.

Hi,

In most cases a crank no start condition is the result of a loss of fuel or ignition spark to the plugs.

Try this. See if the engine starts with starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, we know it is a fuel-related issue. If there is no change, I need you to check for spark to the plugs.

Here is a link that explains how to check:

Try this and let me know the results.

Take care,

Joe
