i would pull a spark plug and touch the bottom of it to metal somewheres and have some one turn it over, there should be a noticeable spark, if there is i would check your fuel pressure, if your getting weak pressure i would look into a fuel filter, if your getting no pressure i would replace the fuel pump and filter, could be a ton of things, are you getting a check engine light? good luck :thumbsup:

check the main relay.Those are notorious for failing .Especially on a hot day with the windows rolled up .

I'd aim for that .Its located under the dash way up in there on driver side.Its Grey colored looking relay that says "MITSUBA " .
