Car turning over but not starting
Ok.. I checked my oil and it's fine, and I checked my coolant fluid and it's fine.. The car is turning over but it won't start. It's not my battery because I just got some new ones..

Any suggestions on what it can be?

check to make sure spark plug wires are all connected tightly. i had same problem and it was due to bad/loose spark plug wires.

if your checking oil and coolant level on a no-start, you are not going to figure it out. Time to tow it to a shop. (not to be an *** but its true)

but if you must, check for fuel and spark, then tell us which one you dont have

lol i had a similar problem like this and i checked EVERYTHING. injectors, timing, compression, spark plugs, etc. and it turned out to be a piece of the intake got sucked into the TB and it choked the motor.
