All,

Wife drove the car all over the place this past Thursday. Pulled in the driveway and tried to get my attention to come out and listen to it before she shut it off, but I didn't hear her.

Went out to start to get m own listen and it won't start.

There is fuel to the rail as I checked that. The engine turns, over. Believe compression to be ok, can't imagine I would lose compression on all 5 cylinders all at once. I have not checked spark yet as its such a pain to get to the plugs. A friend of mine has a timing light so I'm going to check with that later today.

Anything else that I should check that might be the culprit? I'm thinking coil at the moment, but won't know till I put a timing light on it.

Any and all thoughts are welcomed and appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt
