**UPDATE**

It doesnt work yet, but i just replaced my spark plug wires, and that gave it a little more umph. Im thinkin i have to take out the spark plugs now, then check the battery. maybe it needs more water or fluid or whatever they put in batteries :thinking:

oh and i have videos of it trying to start after the spark plug wires were replaced. ill try to upload them.

**ANOTHER UPDATE**

I jus went to autozone, and the guy talked to me like a pro, i was like damn he seems to know it all.

I found out, my battery is ok, cause its turning over.
Now i have to check my spark plugs to see if it has oil on them, if so i have to clean them off and replace my valve cover gasket.

If the Spark Plugs are fine, then i have to do 2 tests.

First, I have to pull the distributor cap off and crank the car in order to see the rotor spinning. If its spinning, then its working. If not, then that means my timing belt went out and im f*cked.

Second, is the spark test. Honestly im scared as hell cause i dont want to shock myself. I have to hold a screw driver 1/4" away from a spark plug and crank the car to see if there is spark.

Wish me luck guys.

omfg, i couldnt believe what just happened. my mom's friend just came over and helped me take everything apart. we got to the Ignition Control Module and were about to take it out. So i went inside to call pepboys to get the test done. all of a sudden i hear my car start up, i said no f*cking way!!! the only thing wrong with it was something was either loose, or moisture built up inside the cap, so after taking it apart, he bolted everything back down and it runs again!! im so freaking happy! :D :D :D

was your moms friend happening to be using a different key then you were, and maybe you were using a copied key? cause i dont know if these cars are the same, but a lot of other cars measure the impedance of the key. so plain old copied keys wont work.
