You didn't say weather or not you have spark at the plugs. Check that before you tow to a Shop. That is most likely what will be the first thing that they do. for $50.00 a hour. Plus the tow bill. you can always have someone you don't like hold the end of the plug wire and turn the key. You will know for sure if there is spark. I saw a guy I worked with do that to one of his kids that was being a smart arse. while he was working on his lawn mower.

Gary, you've a got a bit of a mean streak, don't you?

OK, so I tested the spark and I have sparks for everyone. So now I have new spark plugs, new starter, and sparks. Any clue now?

ESPECIALLY that head temp sensor. the car will never start if that thing's wonky.

checking spark is easy. pull out the plug and set it on somthing like your fender or the valve cover, crank it and see if it has a nice blue crackling spark.

What exactly do you mean by "wonky"

Basically he means if it has a bad connection or the sensor is bad itself.

gotcha

so I took her to the shop... the news: blown fuel pump. dangit

Well, I'm glad you solved it but you really didn't give us enough info to help you. Back in post 12 or so, someone asked if you had fuel flow. You never responded to that. Instead you bought spark plugs and a starter. A little more detailed info and we could have helped you find that bad fuel pump and saved you shop cost since that's a fairly easy install.
