have u tried resetting the sending unit?
 






I m Not sure where or what the sending Unit is Please try to explain how I might go about restting the device Thank you so much for your help J.J
 






Your Title is confusing.

Crank and turn over are the same thing.

Just to clarify, does it turn over but wont fire?

Does it do nothing, (no crank) when turning the key?

There are a number of possibilities that could be wrong, but we need more and clear info posted to be able to help you here :)
 






Sorry when i turn the key the engin will crank and crank and crank but not even a small Fire I put 30 dollors in it less then 20 miles ago so Its Not out of Gas Idk I am at a loss with this one have no clue what it could be I hope A sencer
 






Thats better. Thanks.

There is a small chance someone hit your vehicle while you were in the movies and tripped the fuel pump inertia switch. To reset it...look on the pass side, under the dash, behind the panel for a red reset switch on top of the inertia switch.

Another thing, could be the fuel pump is not working. This is a pressurized system. Easy way to test it is to, find the shrader valve (looks like a tire air valve) on the intake manifold and press it to see if any fuel spits out. Take extreme care and use a rag to stop fuel from hitting you or spewing over engine when depressing the valve.
A fuel pressure tester can be rented for free at Autozone with a refundable deposit. You need around 35 psi for proper running. Low pressure (teens or lower)indicates a weak system. Could be a clogged line, filter, or pump.

Check your fuse box for blown fuses. Check the PWD box under hood for blown fuse, or bad fuel pump relay. When turning the key, listen for the fuel pump to prime. Only primes for a couple seconds. If you hear nothing, start with the fuses and or relay. If they turn out ok, you might have a bad pump.

Another bad part could be the Cam Positioning Sensor. It is located next to/under the coil packs and has a history of failing. If this is bad, you would get crank but no fire. You can remove a spark plug wire and use a phillips screwdriver inserted in the boot, place near something metal, (hands off) and have someone crank the engine while you look for spark/arc.

A bad intake gasket can either make the engine run like crap, or not at all.

All an engine needs to run is Air (good vacuum, no leaks), fuel, and spark.

Try these tests and see what happens.
 






mine was harder to figure out, in the end it was an intermittent pcm relay in the power distibution box in the engine compartment.
