Default Help car wont start.

Just got back from 200 mile drive last night and everything went fine. This morning when I turned the key car wont turn over. All the electrical stuff works and it shows good voltage. What should I look at first?

BTW the car is a stock 00 z/28

Check fuses first. Could be a dead fuel pump or dead ignition system. Does the engine turn when you turn the key?

Could be loads of stuff like the soloniod on the starter motor? You can sometimes short the terminals with a screwdriver. With ign on. Likely a fuse as mentioned or a dodgy connection somewhere.

Ok all the fuses look good and I replaced the ignition relay and still nothing.
What should I troubleshoot next and how?

Ok turns out the security light is flashing when I hold the key in on position. Im pretty sure the car wont start due to a security issue. I tried replacing the starter and ignition relays and all fuses look fine.

What to do?

Its your security system. try hitting the unlock button on the remote first and then clean the little chip on the key off. That worked a few times for me.
