    . Ensure battery is fully charged.
    . Test all under-hood and under-dash fuses with a test light or multimeter:

    . Check for codes.
    . Test for spark. If there's none, check the Ignition Control Module and coil packs.
    . Test for fuel. Do you hear the fuel pump in the gas tank run for several seconds, when the ignition switch is turned to ON?
