Well, this is the thing. My car wont start. When I turn the key it sounds like its gonna start but it never does. The fuel and everything is running through and stuff but i wont start. I think its not getting that electric spark it needs. I have alot of stuff under the hood like turbo, intercooler, fuel management standalone system, ect. Does anybody have an idea of why my car wont start????!!!!!????

check your starter, then ignition coil, plugs, wires, and fuel pump

do a compression check aswell... if thats okay... then check your ignition... turbo add on a KA... almost makes for a formula for blown headgaskets...

hold your foot on the floor and try see if its just flooded. If not you need to check for spark by pulling a plu wire of and sticking a spare plug in it and lay it on the valve cover so the body of the plug is touching the valve cover. crank it over and see if spark jumps the gap on the plug.
