So recently my car stopped wanting to start. I turn the key and the starter cranks continuously,but it won't turn over? I left my key in the ignition, turned, yesterday and it fired up. Once it's started and it's been running for a while it'll start, but now nothing? Any ideas about what I'm dealing with. I've been told the timing belt, the fuel pump, fuses, which from the ones I've checked are all good. Any help would be appreciated...

Usually when your car won't start it is either no spark or no fuel. Before you start replacing parts check your distributor, wires, and plugs. Then test the ignition coil. Then move to your fuel pump and check that. Then check the fuel filter. Do you kinda get where I am going with this? Start simple with your checks before moving onto more complicated parts. If you jump right into looking at your timing belt, it is really going to suck if that is not the problem because now you have put in all this work for nothing. In my situation when that happened to me it ended up being the rotor inside the distributor.
