Starting Problem !
Starting Problem ! My car wont start, it will turn over and wont start, its getting fuel, but no spark, already check the relays and they are fine, any ideas, please, this is driving me crazy !
Is your security light on?
I would disconnect the battery for 10 minutes (clear any codes) and reconnect and try again.
Also, try a different key. Sometimes the key will give you trouble. But... I didn't think you would get fuel if it is a security problem.... Hmmm.

If you have access to a scan tool, hook it up and monitor the engine RPM when you crank the engine. You may have a CKP sensor problem.
Also check to make sure your ECT sensor is plugged in.
Any recent work to the engine or did it just not start?
Use a TEST LAMP do test the fuses, dont just look at them. Check the following fuses:
INJR1, INJR2, ENG CTRL, ENG SEN, A/C CRUISE

If you pull out a spark plug then attach the top of the spark plug to the plug wire, then have someone turn the car over you will see for sure if you are getting any fire to the engine. If you do that and you are getting fire, then your problem is in the fuel delivery.

Verdad Gallardo Im getting fuel for sure and no spark, already tried the plug trick, and checked the plugs are wet after trying to crank ! Its a spark problem, just cant get it nailed down !

Have you checked the ground ?
What about the battery termianls , do they have any corrosion on them ?
I was having a problem like this the car would work right until i tried to turn it over and as soon as it gets under a lot of load everything would shut off . I pulled the battery terminals and one of them had some corrosion and after being cleaned it would totally start up .

How long has the car NOT been running? Maybe your fuel has gone bad (just a crazy idea). How much is in the tank? Sometimes my lawn mowers won't run becuase the gas sat in there too long.
Here are some last things to try:
1.) Disconnect the MAF sensor - The PCM will default to the speed density (MAP, IAT, RPM) in order to calculate the load and the air flow. If this corrects the condition and the connections are OK, replace the MAF sensor
**If certain components are disconnected at the same time, the engine may not start and NO DTCs set.
2.) Turn ON the ignition leaving the engine OFF. Probe BOTH SIDES of the floowing fuses (located in the Underhood Electrical Center #2) listed below using a test lamp connected to ground: INJR1, INJR2, ENG CTRL, ENG SEN, A/C CRUISE
Does the test lamp illuminate on both sides of all the fuses?
3.) Disconnect the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor electrical connector. Measure the voltage at the ignition feed circuit at the CKP electrical connector using a DVOM.
Does the DVOM display battery voltage?
Be sure to follow the steps EXACTLY and do not miss anything. Do these steps and let me know what you find out.

Wont start with maf unplugged, all fuses check out ok, and Ill check the ckp again when I get home, but I think the ckp sensor is work I used hpt when try to crank it and it gets a singal from it !
