OMG I'm freakin out! Evo is broke

I parked my car yesterday in perfect running condition washed it today where it sat and later this afternoon I went to start it and It wont start!!!!

I checked the battery a solid 12 volts... all wires fuses and spark plugs apear to be fine the alternator rolls over just like it should but the engine is DEAD!!!

I'm wondering if somehow the security chip inside the key didn't work right and it killed the ECU because of that which shuts down the whole engine anyone had this happen before? tow truck is on its way now... My baby is going to the dealership... they better not ***c with me on warrentee cause my car is stock.

engine does not crank over the starter turns over but motor doesn't start at all sounds exactly like if you take all the spark plugs out then try to start the car ignition kicks in but engine is dead

I'm guessing coil packs. Just a random guess. No particular reason.

i think he is write definitely something to do with the spark up there, i bet you got some water under the cover some how... or your battery is loose... maybe even the fuse to the starter... doubt its the chip in the key, did you try unhooking your battery and reinstalling
