In short, there's not enough info here to determine why your car isn't running. Are there any CEL (Check Engine Light) codes stored? How does your wiring look? Are there broken wires/connectors, anything unplugged, anything loose?

When you say it won't start, do you mean the starter doesn't spin? Or does the engine turn over but not fire? Or does the engine turn over, sputters, but doesn't run on it's own?
The check engine light is on, cant get the codes checked because it wont start now. Ive double checked all the wiring and hoses, and everything appears fine.
