1996 chevy cavalier crank no start?

I ll start off by letting you know i acknowlage i should just fix my ford, but I have tried for 2 days on the little car, it cranks but won't start, theft light IS not but DOESN't blink, always solid, radio was replaced with one out of a sunfire and I think that s when the issue started but not %100 sure cause i just bought it. Fuel pump NOT running but can hear the really click, was in a minor accident but i don't think the inertia switch got tripped. I don't wanna drop the gas tank to test the fuel pump and my multimeter just broke so I have to do the old fashioned way. And advice is greatly appriciated. Got any questions ask please

If your fuel pump is not running, that is obviously your problem. But you seem to have some doubt whether it is or is not. Squirt some starting fluid in the air intake, then try to start it. If it fires and runs for a few seconds, then you can be pretty sure that it is not getting fuel.

  • Ford Escort or Chevy Cavalier? - 1 Same year (1998), around same amount of miles (160,000), both maintained, both are even the same color. Which is the better car? Or a 2002 Ford Taurus with 172,000 miles?
