..so it is trying to start, just not turning over??....look into cleaning your throttle body. there is a thread around here that talks about it.

I ended up cleaning it out with a good ol" toothbrush and some carb cleaner starts up like a champ
Thanks

What were your symptoms? Mine has a hard time turning over on occasion and I have to press the gas to keep it from dieing. This is like once a week though.

That's exactly what mine did. I pulled off the intake and cleaned it out and it starts up better than ever.

I plan on cleaning the throttle body tomorrow. Thanks for the tip. I'll reply with my findings later.
