do you have spark? do you have fuel?
yes it has fuel and i know computers i dont know much about cars so i dont know how to tell if it has spark however as staed it does have all new plugs i dont know if that has anything to do with it, but yea i took the old fuel out cause it sat for a good while and put new fuel in
you need to check for spark at the plugs.
does that require a special tool?
No. you said you know computers? You-tube,or google it.
i am and thus far im seeing people with special tools anf one guy telling me to conect it to a mower lol
So you have spark,and you tried starting fluid and it would not start?
Did u ever get it fixed and if so what was the problem mine did the same thing and cant find the problem

I found with my 01 that i had to replace the sensor in the column that recognizes the chip in the key. Because of the anti-theft system. If the key light on the dash doesnt go off after 10 sec of it just being in the on position im almost betting thats your problem or needs to be reprogrammed
