Hey guys i have a little problem here with starting my car i just cant seem to find the problem so if you could help me out that would be fantastic. Alright well my car has been sitting for about 3 weeks without being started due to putting in a new radiator, water pump. I went to start it up today and it was completly dead when i turned the key over just a little click tried boosting it and still couldnt get it . im trying to do a rad flush so there is water in the rad i cant see that being the problem tho. so i went and bought a new battery and right away it turns over but just doesnt quite get that spark to ignite and actually turn the car on, i tried pumping the gas but still nothing. I was wondering what you guys think it is? Any help is much appreciated.

Have you checked for spark, compression and fuel delivery?

i just got new sparks about 6 weeks ago/1500 km i dont see it being a problem but i will probably take a look at it tomorrow. What would be best way to check the fuel delivery?

Check the plugs see what they look like. Dark black or white is bad, you want the tips to be grey-ish. Fuel Delivery starts with turning the key to acces. and listen for the pump. then detach the line from the fuel filter that connects to the fuel rail and see if you get gas. Check compression and if you have all three start checking the pressures.
