Zurg, Does the car engine turn over (rotate) when you turn the key to the start position? It is a little hard to understand what your symptoms are. If it turns over, does it fire? Do you have spark?

It has spark and fire but it wont, actually crank. Like today I just kept playin with it and it finally crank but I was unable to get it back. It turned of when the ac compressor came on when I turned the ac on.... Let me know what you think... It also makes a pop when trying to crank it

Do you have any codes from the OBD-2 port? BTW I think "crank" means to rotate the engine. If it fires that means the plugs are firing the fuel.

Its doesnt actually crank... The service engine soon light is always on and sometimes blink. It doesnt even crank anymore but the code is still in there for random missfire... Could a bad timing cause this
