    97 calvalier won't start
    I get power in my car and I tested my spark plugs and wires and they are good. My starter is fine and my iginition switch is great. What else could the problem be. My car cranks as if it wants to start but doesn't.

    Check the fuses and relays, make sure they're all working. Does the motor have both fuel and spark?

    . Test all under-dash and under-hood fuses with a test light or multimeter:

    . Check for codes.

    . Check for spark. If there's no spark, test/replace the Ignition Control Module and coil.

    . Check for fuel. Do you hear the fuel pump in the gas tank run, when the ignition switch is turned to ON.
