What's up guys! Been a looong time since I posted but like they say...you can always come home. So here's the deal. I have a '93 SHO and it had been sitting for a year in the back yard covered. I had to recharge the battery and she started right up. I drove her around the block a couple times, put more gas in her and shut her down before I moved to Florida. Once I got here, now all she does is crank but not turning over/starting. I've replaced the old fuses with newer ones. The horn works, interior lights work, and I can hear the fuel pump kick in when I turn the switch. So far I've had the idler pulley replaced app. 6 yrs. ago, EGR, IAC, and valve cover gaskets both banks replaced. Agu y told me to check the ignition module or the starter solenoid but if the car won't start, how can I test this? What could be the issue. I LOVE this car so, HELP PLEASE! Thanks in advance. Jay

First guess is crank sensor. Check for correct fuel pressure at the valve on the fuel rail. Make sure the DIS is grounded. Any stored codes?

Naw...yesterday it started raining so I didn't get a chance to pull the codes. Guess that should be the 1st thing I do. I'll do that then let you know what comes up. Thanks

It's not the starter solenoid if the car is cranking. It's not the battery if all accessories and interior lights are working. DIS or crank sensor is my guess.
