I parked my Acura RL and when I went back to go home it wouldn't start. Car engine turned over but just wouldn't start no matter how many times I tried. Had it towed to repair shop - they've had it for two days and say they can't determine why it won't start. Any suggestions?

    Try a new shop?

    It should be easy to find out what is missing - fuel, spark, air. Testing should be done in the system that is suspect.

    You have the wrong shop. It should only take 2-3 hours to diagnose that problem.
