car wont start. :(
Cranks perfectly but just didn't turn over. I tried jumping it, and that didn't work at all. So that throws the battery out. Any ideas anyone? there was fuel in it.
its a 98 3.2tl with 150k miles on it..
It was driving perfectly fine earlier and now this just happens. any ideas would be great.

Best way of finding no-start is to establish basic problem; lack of fuel or lack of fire.
Check for power to the coils (Coil-on-Plug). There is a single power lead (blk/yel on many Acura/Honda products) that branches to supply power from keyswitch to the coils. If no power from keyswitch, problem is likely a worn keyswitch, or failed fuse in that circuit. Fuses do occasionally fail randomly, but if fuse is bad you may have another problem causing fuse to blow.
Check for fuel pressure by listening carefully for fuel pump to run for 2 secs when keyswitch is first turned to ON position. If dead silence, your fuel pump is not runnig; bad main fuel relay or bad fuel pump most likely.
good luck
