    If it cranks i would check, the fuel pump, crankshaft, camshaft sensors, fuel pump relay, also the spark plugs, cables, rotor the whole ignition system including the module.

    Ok so I had it towed to the station and they said I need a timing belt and should have the water pump changed at the same time. He is estimating $800-$900 am I getting ripped off
