The car ran well on a firday(the 30th of april) I parked it went inside came back out the next day and wouldnt start. it wanted to but wouldnt fire up the engine. i just got an oil change and tune up plug, filters oil, radiator tranny fluid checked etc. Last yr I put a barand new radiator into the car, got new hoses for the new water pump. I will be taking the video and sound of what the car does after the kids go to school .. thanks

If the guy with the shop said your car has no computer, then he's a moron. Your car has a computer, unless someone stole it from you! Since it could be one of many things, you need to get it scanned for error codes, if it has any, so you can hopefully narrow down what the problem might be. What year is your car?
1994
is the yr of the car

You might want to check all your connection to the spark plugs. make sure the wires are tight on the head of the spark plug and then after that make sure all the all the spark plugs are nice and tight and if you want to or know someone that wants to you can check the gap of the spark plug the right gap is 0.050, i think. but i would check those first.

ok thanks 97camaro89 .. for the other ok I asked the x hubby if my car had a computer and he said yes .. so this other guy who checked it is not telling me something..do u guys know if any auto shop would rent the computer so i can do that and let you guys know the codes?

if it's a 95 the it will have an OBDII plug and OBDI guts behind and that my be what would cause confusion if someone can't read the codes. but i agree with the other people what exactly does the car do or not do when you try to start, does it crank just not turn over. or no crank etc. can you hear the fuel pump when you turn the ign to on position?

i would personally check the ign cylinder on the car and make your first you are getting voltage on all of you IGN and ACCY and Starter wires. is the car manual or Auto? on manual trans car's there is a switch that allows power from the starter wire at the ign to pass through to go to the starter if that switch is bad then no start. if no power at the IGN wire (thick gauge Pink) under the dash then no start. if that is the case then there are multiple thick gauge Red wires make sure you have good 12v on all of those if not maybe a blown fuse.
