The first question I would ask, Is it turning over? If not, pull the plugs, and see if there is water in the cylinders. Water won't compress. Second question, if it is turning over, pull a couple of plugs and see if you find any water. Because you may have blown a head gasket. If you have, make sure you send the head to get it checked for cracks before reassembly. Good luck!! DD

If it has a spark, fuel, and is turning over but not starting, you have to consider these things....
After ruling these three starting points out, be realistic about repair costs, and consider a different, newer vehicle.
I hope this helps you out in some small way.
ps If you do buy another vehicle, try to buy American

may have a leak in the fuel line letting air in/ diesel engines need to be air tight/ look over all possible lines and injectors may be loose had same problem/ another poosibility may be low pressure fuel pump under driver side of chasis not holding pressure and letting fuel back in to tank

It might be but first, is your fuel pump kicking on? Also, a clogged fuel filter can cause this as well. Listen for your fuel pump to kick on. If it doesn't, it might be your pump. We know it is gas related and that is good.

you probably have air in the lines, if you have a carb, spray some quick start into the carb and turn it over, if it starts and then dies when the starting fluid has run out, you probably need a fuel pump, since the running of the car should have blown out any air that was in the line, If your car is fuel injected, loosen the bolt cap at the end of the injector line that supplies the fuel,, and tap the key once,, ( don't start it,, ) just turn the key on and off 3 or 4 times, this should blow fuel out of that loose bolt head, if it does your getting fuel, if not, back to the fuel pump, also you can check this link, http://www.aa1car.com/library/us1296.htm
