never ever post just saying "my car wont start, why?" be more specific, is it just clicking and not cranking, is it cranking but not turning over, is it doing nothing. what is it doing.

Yeah... need more info... Does the starter turn over? do you hear nothing? do you hear the magnetic switch energize? Do you have fuel... spark?

Okay, The starter is not cranking at all. Check the fusible link first, take it out ohm it out sometimes it is not too obvious if a fuse or fusable link is blown. The fusable link is in the fuse and fuseable link box next to the battery, im pretty sure its a green fusable link and is 10 amp.... also verify 12vdc is at that point. Verify you have 12vdc at the magnetic switch on the starter (the solenoid)

Do you have a manual or A/t?

Alright check that stuff first and if all of it is good it can be a few other things including your inhibitor switch and your solenoid (magnetic switch)
