Default Need advice, Please Come on in!

Ok well my car was running fine last night and just sat overnight maybe 10 hrs but now will not start up. I have half a tank and it turns over just won't fire up. This is just a bolt on car(headers intake stall etc). I checked all fuses and no go. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Cranking but not starting can be several things - can you hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the key on? Maybe this will help: www.gearchatter.com/viewtopic8794.php

Thanks i unplugged the maf and tried to start and didn't hear my fuel pump whine like it usually does so i'm thinking that is it. Is it common for this to happen for a car with only 55k mi?

Could also be a neutral safety switch or maybe the starter going out!

Don't know, maybe relieve the pressure at the fuel rail then try again? Would be easier if you could get your hands on a fuel pressure gauge.

I tried to relieve the pressure with the key turned on but nothing came out. Do you think I should still try the fuel pressure gauge?
