Default Car Won't Start

I drove my car to work and now it won't start. It will turn over fine,but will not run. Could this be the fuel filter. I have a new fuel pump that has been working fine with my Maggie. Never had any problems in the past. Have had the Maggie on for 5 months. Thanks in advance. Gary

That depends on exactly what you mean by "turn over". It could be the starter not engaging the flywheel for whatever reason. You could also have a fuel issue (not getting to motor) or an electrical problem (no spark to ignite fuel/air in chamber). Good luck!

Thats kind of a hard question to answer. "Turns over but wont start" kinda hard to give an answer without looking at it. I would guess to check the big 3 that make a motor run, Fuel/Spark/Air - If all is well, the problem is deaper. Possibly electrical, possibly something stupid.
