Did you recently get water on the firewall by washing the engine or driving in deep water?
Water in the DME, which is mounted on the firewall toward the passenger side, will knock out your spark. Search this forum for tips on repairing/replacing a DME. Can you hear the fuel pump spin up for a second when you turn the key to the On position? If not, start by checking the fuse for the fuel pump. |

Are you saying it sounds like it is started but when you release to key from START to the ON position it dies?
