I need to know where the ignition switch is located and also if you know how to determine if it's out? Also how you can tell if your fuel pump is out?

Thanks

The switch is behind the area where the switch is located on the column. You didn't mention the problem but I think you may have a bad EFI relay. Let me know some more symptoms.

My car will turn over but it won't start. It doesn't sound like it normally does when you go to start it.

If it sounds like it is spinning freely, thats bad news, a broken timing belt and it has destroyed valves. That failure occurs about 130K.

Take off the distributer cap and see if the rotor turns when the engine is turning over. If so then you not getting spark and fuel then it is probably the EFI relay which is located on the left side upper dash high in the dash. It is black meteal and fairly large.

Let me know.
