Answer
Hi Brandee,
To get an idea of what might cause the no start use your ignition key to get a fault code number that may tell us what the engine controller thinks is wrong. Turn the key "on-off-on-off-on and leave on" doing that in 5 seconds or less elapsed time. Then notice the "check engine" light, which remains "on", begins to flash, pause, flash etc. Count the number of flashes before each pause. Then repeat the process to be sure that you have an accurate set of flash counts. The last two sets of flashes should be 5 and 5. Let me know the flash counts in the order of appearance and we'll go from there. Also tell me which size (L) engine you have.
