It is cold, but I don't think that the gas or lines are frozen if that was what you are implying. It was in the 20's F. when this was occuring. I'm thinking I may have bad gas. Maybe there is moisture or water in it. :-\

did you try the starting fluid it will let narrow down the problem

Re:car won't start. please help
 

It usually doesn't even sound like it wants to start. It just keeps cranking, but sometimes it sounds like it wants to kick over and I hear a backfire out the exhaust. I did get it started a few times and it ran horribly for a few seconds and shut off. Since it did start a few times I would assume the fuses are good. And if not what fuses would I check?

No, not yet. I will try it tomorrow. May this cause a big backfire or flame out the intake manifold by spraying the starting fluid?

The whole point of it is just to see if it starts. If so your ignition is totally fine. Um apprentley you have never used it before car to your local parts store and read the instructions

Re:car won't start. please help
 

I understand. I have used it before on my snowblower. I just spray it in the carb. Anyway, I'm gonna try it asap.

Well, I fixed it. It wouldn't start with the starting fluid. I was still getting spark, but it didn't seem like it was sparking consistently. So I removed the distributor cap and the screw that holds the rotor on fell on the floor. So the screw worked its way loose but somehow it was still sparking good enough to get the car started a few times. So there is my story. Its fixed. Yay! :) Thanks for the help/suggestions guys.
