We're going to need more information about the car. Are you handy and technically savvy?
1. Items to cause a no start
- Fuel

• Fuel Pump
• Fuel Pump relay
• Fuel Filter

- Air

• Air Filter
• MAF
• ICV
• Throttle Position sensor

- Spark

• Spark plugs
• resistance at the coil packs
• Crankshaft Position Sensor
• Is your car an EWS? Loooooooong thread on it

Does the car crank but not fire? or just nothing with the turn of the key? Is it intermittent? or has it just stopped all together?

I don't think that is my issue I'm not having overheating issues it just leaks from the middle if the rear if the motor I'm wondering I it could be a rubber line back there maybe ? Also I'm trying to locate the starter relay circut to see if it is okay or if its the cause of my starting problem

updated previous post, read through it

Yes I am savy to the normal causes of a no start my car does not even crank randomly it will just not start I will put the key in and I get dash lights but it will not crank

not even starter motor spinning?

Nothing at all it's as if the battery is dead but you still have all dash lights

i know you said you replaced your battery but this has happened to be on a dead battery. Yes, i still got dash lights.

But the battery is charged and bran new I tested it at work and its all fine

Check ground connections!

Starter relay?
