Panic

[Velvet Festiva]

Come home key in ignition & the car is screwed with. Won't even fire up now...Its sitting infront of my driveway...Looking threw the haynes manual hasn't helped...Maybe someone pulled out the fuse to the ignition... Im disgusted right now....

well...it wont turn over? turn but not start? did you check for fire? fuel?

[aithanmier]

some specifics about your car? is the starter cranking? have you pulled a spark plug to check for spark if it is?if it is have you checked for fuel pressure?

[Velvet Festiva]

turns but wont start...cold as can be...fuel is fine

[aithanmier]

check the spark. pull out the #1 cylinder plug, hook the lead back up and drape it over the driver side fender (make sure it's not toughing the metal) then crank it. if you don't have spark check your coil wire for continuity, if the wire is good check the coil positive terminal for power with the key in the on position (be sure to also gound out the multimeter to the engine block). if thats fine then pull the top half of the timing belt cover and make sure your timing belt isn't broken.
that should keep ya busy for an hour or so.

what tools do i need?

[aithanmier]

a spark plug socket, and ratcheting wrench, a 10 mm socket and an electrical multimeter you can get em all at walmart if ya don't have em. multimeters are in the auto department next to the sparkplugs usually, a cheapo will do 10 bux or so prolly

sounds like one of the fuse links to me..

Jiggle the 3 fuse links on the drivers side strut tower.. then see if it'll start

also, I know you said you are getting fuel, but did you check the inertia switch to see if it somehow got tripped?
