Start by unplugging the harnesses from the car to the engine (on both sides). Turn the key on and see if the fuse holds. This will tell if the short is something on the engine or something else.

how do you know nobody here knows how to give the correct answer, you are the joke
dont come on here asking for FREE help , then insult people that are trying to help you for FREE. if you want help take it to the dealership and pay $$$$$$ and stfu!

why dont you give a better description about your problem, a motor requires 3 things to run, air, fuel, spark obviously your are lacking one, test things out then come on here and post your results, and just because you put a new coil and stuff dont mean a damn thing, new parts dont mean they work! now i think you need to appologize, or just leave and never come back on.

Unhappy Thank you so much for your kind words.........

I do apologize, but I did not cuss at you, or call you a idiot. Thanks so much for doing that. You say you are free ok but no answers. So this is where the frustration lies. It is a shame you would treat someone who is just trying to fix her car by coming out with very rude words the way you are. No I am not a idiot. All I said was this is a joke because as with everywhere else in this world no one wants to help. Obviously this forum either since you want to just down people instead of possibly helping them find the problem. I apologize for what I said which is not near as bad as what you have said. Yep that is the way the world goes now..............shame isn't it. Don't worry I will not be back on.

People attempted to help you and all you did was get upset and insult our forum. We aren't physically at your car, we can't do it all for you. You have to help us help you. That's just how it works... you ask a question and we ask you questions back that help us answer your original question. If you don't like it, go to a mechanic.

take your cap off see it the rotor is spinning-you need three things-spark-fuel and COMPRESSION.
new tune up parts are great and seeing if you have spark is fine.When you turn the key does the motor seem to spin freely..?Faster than normal..?
When did you do a timing belt on the car..?

Do a compression test to see if its close or way off that can tell you a few things.

A step at a time if you do too much at once or try to you dont know whats working and what isnt.

calm down.i run shops in the real world..insulting those who'for lack of a better phrase' have gone there before you garners no warm fuzzy's......
