Haven't given anyone much to go on here. You have to start with some good old fashioned troubleshooting. Is the engine turning over (cranking)? If Yes, the battery and starter are good. Does it have spark? Pull a plug wire and test. If not, you have an ignition system problem. Does it have fuel? Starting fluid is the easiest way to check (remove air filter and spray a bit in to see if it starts). Does it have timing or compression?

    I have an 01 Mitsubishi Montero sport that won't crank. Just put a new battery on it (the old one had a dead cell). I'm thinking it's the anti theft system or the starter, but I can't afford a star...

    I just changed the timing belt and the water pump on my truck and it drove for a day and a half and it will not crank up. It sounds like it wants to crank but it's not catching. Why won't it crank?
