Well, it would be an early burnout for the part I'm thinking of, but I would check your ignitor. This burned out on me, and it was like trying to start the car and having no fuel. How you can troubleshoot this would be the following: First check the fuel system by sitting in it, with the doors closed and somewhat quiet. Turn the key to "on" (not start) and listen for a pressurizing noise. This means most likely your fuel pump is good. Turn the engine over a teensy bit, like 2 times. Then, go and pull a spark plug and see if it smells like gasoline. This means the rest of your fuel delivery system is good. The next test is to check for spark (easy) then to test the resistance on the ignitor coil (less easy... it's best to remove it and take it to autozone)
