My bone stock KA24DE was starting fine for about 2 months, and i've just been cruising around with it. Well, I stalled it and when i tried to start it back up, it wouldn't start. I tried starting it several times over a few minutes... nothing. I popped the hood, and saw that the spark plug boots were loose. I popped them all back in, and still nothing. I'll pull the spark plugs out either tomorrow or on tuesday to see if there's anything wrong with them. For now though, does anyone have any ideas?
This happened to me before (exact same scenario) and it was a bad starter relay. Since then, i replaced the bad relay, front crank seal, spark plugs, cam cover gasket, and removed the upper chain guide, but the car ran fine for a couple of months after doing this stuff, so i don't know what's going on. Could the relay I JUST REPLACED already be bad?
Someone please help me.

what happens when u turn the key? any cranking or is it just silent?
if its silent, it could most likely be your starter. try push starting

Yeah, it's completely silent. I'm off from work tomorrow, so I'm gonna try to push-start it then, and if that doesn't work, i'll have to start looking for the problem elsewhere.

Bypass the starter relay completely, you don't need it and they're prone to go bad anyway. That will also remove one part of the equation and help narrow down the problem.
