Default Help me please engine wont start

Guys , I was driving home and I was on my home street. My car just cut off and went to the start position. I pulled over and checked under the hood. It turns over but doesnt do anything else. All electric works. Its not the starter, it sounds like its tryin to start.


Now my gas light just turned on like 5 miles from home. It shouldnt be that but I am tryin in a few seconds to put 2 gallons in it.

PLEASE HELP Z GODS

Tried gas. Nothing. Not the battery or Alt. Everything powers up but the engine does not start. Could something got into the intake? I just put a nismo CAI in.

My wife looked it over and she thinks that fuel is not getting to the engine. The car is not throwing any codes though. HELP

Honestly?

But srsly, homo jokes aside. Its either the maf or ignition, havent watched your video, but sounds like when a dizzy goes bad, or when a coil pack fucks up (or msd, stupid POS)

Check spark. Pull a plug wire, place it on the chassis somewhere under your bonnet and crank the motor, see if it is igniting. Work from there.

you should of let her put the intake in, she would have remembered to plug the MAF back in.
