Hey Charlie...

Quick question for ya, My neighbors car wont start, it'll try and turn over, but it's like its just not igniting or something. The battery is fine, lights, windshield wipers, etc. are all a go. I'm more of an interior guy, and under the engine isn't quite my specialty so I'd figure I'd ask you. It's probably a 98' Malibu with a 2.2 4-cylinder.

Thanks

My '02 Saturn did the same thing, and it ended up being the ignition module. Could also be plugs, wires, or coils.

yeah I figured I had a wide, WIDE list of problems that It could come from, but at least I'll have some where to start. I'll try and get a video later and post that up.

Start simple first. Check the fuses, because it could even be a blown ignition fuse.

Yeah, there was another guy there before I got there and he said he checked the fuses and everything looked OK.
