keck to see if your fuel pump is cycling...remove back seat and access cover turn key to ON and listen for the whirling noise. Not whirling.....check the fuel pump relay bay jumping it with a piece of wire....87 to 35 I think...check your Hanes or Bently. If the pump runs (jumped) its the relay if not the fuel pump.
Hope this helps

Do you own a service manual? I suggest buying one. Sounds as though your Fuel pump is dead or your fuel filter is blocked and your engine is not getting fuel.
I don't suggest you pop the clutch at 70 mph to many times. You might suffer a broken timing belt.
i have the bently manual and it doesn't say much to why car wont start cranks, battery good but doesn't turn on. i replaced my fuel filter already could be fuel pump i haven't tired it

when u turn the car on, does it just go. whir...whir...whir...whir...??? if yes, then its fuel. that means u r not getting gas to the engine. to check, spray a bit of carb cleaner, starter cleaner into the throttle body. (remove air intake to do this) the car should start for few seconds....it =same problem, no fuel.
it does go whir whir whir i'll try the carb cleaner trick now do i just put it on the plate or on the inside of it

The first reply sounds right I could be the replys there are 2 the main reply for the engine managent and the fuel pump relay You bridge between Trem 30 and 87 and 87a if there i'd also try lifting the back seat taking off the right hand blacy cover for thew tank sender/pump and hit the top of the pump while someone cranks the engine for you if it starts it's the pump this primative diagnosis works for the managent control unit as well
i thinks its the pump cause when i change the fuses 9-11 the car started for and was working fine then it just cut off for no reason and the fuses aren't blow so maybe the fuse just gave it a little bit of power to work for awhile.
