Cranks wont start
Hey guys, my car is just doing this new deal where it cranks over at full speed but wont start. The fuel pump is pumping, but I havent checked for fuel pressure, I cant find the valve. Where is it, does it have one? Next, what is the easiest way to check for spark? I can pull a wire off, but there is NO slack to check it. Anything that I should check? Thanks.

95000 miles, and it is the schraeder valve. Can't really get to the plugs, any suggestions? Where in the hell is the coil? Sorry, Im not an idiot, I just havent had a 4th gen all that long. Are you thinking opti? I dont know where it is, or how to check it, can anyone direct me? The car spins over fine without a jump so I dont think its the alt, as the battery is not dead, it should still fire.

update:
pulled a plug wire off the plug and cranked it over, no spark. the dude told me his water pump was leaking and he replaced it. ive heard this can cause your opti to go out because it drips on it. any truth?

I don't know if i would just blame the opti so quick........you are sure your getting no spark......i'd invest in a spark plug checker.....hooks to plug and wire.........by the way you need to have something for the spark to jumb across....and sometimes its hard to see in bright light.
