Car problem...dont know whats up? Options

[Sh0gunkid8721]

I was gonna go food shoppin w/ my roommate tonite when i got into my car and turned the ignition but the engine didnt start. It turned but nothing happened. We tried jumping the car but that didnt work either so im guessing that rules out battery problems. If this isnt the problem then what the f*ck is????

Fuel, spark, combustion. Those are your three choices. Check your distributer and cap. There's a very common problem with the 5sfe with something in the ignition. Some one should post this. Check your gas level too, it's simple, but it happens. If you have any big oil leaks, it could be combustion, I doubt you don't know if this is the problem. Good luck, and this belongs in the engine forum. It won't get as much attention there though.
