Drain the gas and refuel with fresh gas.
Jump start the car.

i dont think its a fuel problem because i initially thought it was the fuel pump.

the battery is brand new i dont need to jump start it

Check the ignition system

Check the catalytic converter

Check the crackshaft position sensor, it's right by the crankshaft pully for the serpentine belt. You will have to take off the passanger front wheel to get to it easily.

I don't want to say for certian, but it's possible.

Try turning the key from off to the on position (don't start it) 10 times. Could be that the fuel pump is almost gone and not building pressure. If theres a shrader valve at the end of the fuel rail then check if that sprays fuel out

Pull off the lead that goes from the ignition module to the dizzy cap, hold an insulated screwdriver close to it and see if it arcs. Alternatively pull out a spark plug, reattach wire and see if it sparks.

Its 5:30am here and thats all I can think of for now

Replace gas anyway.
Replace oil and oil filter.

Fuck off autocorrect. Fucker doesn't know what a crankshaft is.

i need to check it with multimeter correct?

>>16960871
Check the spark plugs, wires, ignition coils and ignition module. In that order. Somewhere in there is your problem.

Great engines, but everythign bolted to it is pure garbage. I'm gonna say his ignition pack is fucked?

No compression because Dexcool ate the head gaskets.
