Car cranks but wont start Just went out to start this steaming hunk of **** and when you turn the key it just sits there and cranks. Its always cranked once of twice then fires up, but not anymore. What the hell broke this time?

I had a similar problem and it ended up being the ignition relay. That's probably the best place to start as it will only cost you a couple of bucks.

Find out what component you are missing, fuel, air or spark....then diagnose from there. More than likely its fuel or spark, so check fuel pressure and spark. I'd almost bet you are missing one of those.
