the other day i shut my car off at the mailbox and i havent been able to start it since. so i pushed it to the driveway and checked the spark and its great. the car turns over but wont start. ive had a very similar problem before where it would do this for a while but eventually start but its been down for a few weeks now and im stumped. last time it was the main relay. which seems to be a common problem, so i replaced it yesterday to no avail. the check engine light isnt on or anything. any ideas? thanks!

Well if you have spark then your either lacking fuel or the timing is off.

If you can check the pressure at the fuel filter or pull a line and see if you have fuel.

Tw sensor can cause main relay like symptoms. It's not hot there is it?
