    Drove it to wholesale sports, and had to have it towed home.

    She just cranks and cranks and will not turn over.

    I checked the relays and the fuses, yes there is gas in it.

    tired jumping starting it and charging the battery up all the way.

    clueless right now....

    You said you checked the relays. But if you didn't yet swap the fuel pump relay with the window motor relay next to it, I'd try that. Relays can be finicky things. Those two relays are exactly the same, and if it turns over once you swap them then you found your culprit. Easy 30 second experiment. Worked for me.

    Pull a plug, see if it has gas on it.

    with that same plug out and connected to the wire turn it over and see if you have spark

    look carefully at the fuseblock, check for brownish color on upper left connectors (sometimes hard to see if it has melted down).

    Thanks you guys, I'm at work right now I will try these tips when I get home.

    I did swap the relay but I don't remember which one I swapped it with.
