[QUOTE="escaflowne, post: 1207872, member: 2808"] the basic thing to know. The car need 3 basic thing. 1)electricity 2)Fuel 3)air Normally alot of engine that unable to start is because of factor number 1. It is quite hard to just to know straight from the sound but as you guys know.The basic is 1)turn key...u can only hear tak tak tak.That means..starter didn't crank(most of the time battery kong so not enuff current for the starter to crank) 2)Turn key..u can hear the start cranking but it wont start.Now is time ot check electricity and fuel. It is best to have a test pen.You can see those mechanic have this kinda light bulb connected to a pen.It is a useful tools to see where got current and where didn't. For example...starter crank but shit engine cant't start.As usual..if you pen the pen on the source from the battery it lights up..showing that battery got power.Since there is alot of socket..so you can trace.Let's say no power to your distributor..when you stuck the pen into the socket you can't get any lights on.so on and so forth for the possibility For your case,no cranking sound.That means starter no turning.Check if battery got power or not.Then check the possible connection to the starter..is there any lose cable..socket etc.And any electric to the starter.If there is electricity to ur starter..most probarly is the starter kong..wont turn.Get a test pen..it is darn useful.
