She's been sitting in my heated garage for 3 weeks due to snow. Steep frozen drive so I can't get in or out. I started her up at the end of the first week. Started right up, no problem. One week later tried to run her again. Turns over fine, will not start????
I need advice on what I should look for.

I know cars and parts, but this one has me stumped.

Please send along your ideas on what to try.

Got gas, :-)

Thanks, Architect
 
Crank no start will be a fuel or spark problem most likely. Do you hear the fuel pump running when you turn the key to the run position? If not get someone to help you. Have them smack the gas tank with something that won't damage it while you are cranking the car, sometimes that will make a bad fuel pump start running a few more times. If that works have the fuel pump replaced.

I just went through the same thing fuel pump went DOA on mine. If you can do this disconnect fuel line after fuel filter and attach a hose to the nipple and put hose into a small fuel container.
Turn on ignition but dont start the car. If you don't have a steady stream of fuel more than likely the pump. But before you do anything check fuses and relays first.
