    any ideas?

    Went to start it for work & lo and behold....would not start!! turns over, makes all the right noises...but won't "catch"....it's about 30 degrees here in Ohio and I have a 1/4 of a tank of gas...usually don't let it get that low but...really shouldn't matter should it? Any ideas would be great!!

    Hi mate, check your ECU fuse (i think that is what it is called) in the engine bay fuse box. i had that problem last nite....

    sometimes a battery with some juice will crank the starter but not have enough to let the engine turn over... if its cranking strong, check the fuse for the fuel pump under the hood, also try some gas water remover
