I dont know what happened !!! did i mess or screw up any wires because i put new panels under steering wheel and dash board basically the whole leather swap


When I try to start the car, it'll crank, but it wont turn on.
When I switch it to 'on', the check engine light does turn on and I do have power to all lights and the cd player.

When the car cranks, it doesn't sound unusual. It is neither too slow nor too fast, it just won't start the car.
I've checked my oils and gas. My tank is full

I have school monday and have a midterm i have 1 day to fix this =(

Did you mess with the back seat ? The fuel pump is grounded right at the back part of the seat. Maybe you unbolted it.

Edit: i txted you, but I guess you have txting blocked ? Lol

Nah I was tryin to help you with your car lol. Check the fuel pump ground wire. It should be bolted down behind/under your back seat, the back part that folds over. If it's not anymore, just re bolt it down.

Well what your car needs to run is fuel, spark and compression. Check that you have spark and that your fuel pump is priming when you turn the key to the II position. Pop the hood and listen in close to the fpr while someone turns the key from OFF to the II position.

To test for spark just pull each plug wire off one by one and hold it close to a grounded metal part on the chassis. If you see spark from all of them then you have spark on all four wires so you can cancel that out.

It sounds like you moved a wire somewhere or forgot to plug something in again and hence affecting either spark or fuel, i highly doubt its the compression that's lacking.
