Hi there,
Sometime between yesterday and today, my KA24 decided not to start anymore.

I spent all day yesterday chasing down brake lights that don't work, turns out the shim between the pedal and the sensor was broken. So I fixed that, and the car wouldn't start.
I knew the battery was supposed to be bad, so I took it to Pep Boys and it tested bad, so I replaced it.
Swapped in the new battery, car still won't start. I've checked the fuel pump fuse too, it looks OK.

Here is a video of what it sounds like:

Any ideas?

Turn the key to "on" and listen for the fuel pump priming. It'll be a little whistle noise.

Can't hear it. But I don't recall hearing it before either. I'm going to check for fuel pressure now.

allright, it's running. I used my vast IT experience to plug and unplug the spark plug cables and that did it. LOL. Thanks for reading, go look at p0rn to pay yourself back for the waste of time.
