well lets begin at the begining.. woke up went ouside, tried to start car. car didnt start.

so the car was fine yesterday, no issues at all. and again like i said just went outside to start the car this morning and nothing. i mean its turning over, but its not even trying to start. all you hear is the motor turning and the starter. any thing i sould check before calling the tow truck to come get it and take it to the shop.
o and all fuses are ok, and car has fuel. no check engine lights were on yesterday at all

put the key in the ignition hold the odo rest button turn the car to on position while holding the reset button wait till you see test the take out the key and try to start it again.

Solution 2 is to pop the clutch while going down a hill assuming its an auto.

resets the pcm. well a portion of it.

When I was going to colorado my throttle cut out on me no overheat had plenty of fuel nothing to explain it.

I reset my pcm and bingo car fires right up.
