do your gauges work? If not it could be a bad BCM.. happened to me when my crimps fell off of my radio and wires crossed. 750 dollar repair, for free because of connections and some lawn work :)

If they were still in possesion of your vehicle for service and jumped it backwards it doesn't matter what it is they need to fix it. Does it crank?

Tell them that you are going to call your attorney. Watch how fast it gets fixed.

Well they blew something electrical. The plugs may not be too far off but does it really sounds like its missing on the firing or runs smooth like you say?>

So all in all its just not firing up on its own? I am confused. You say no start but then it does start.

^^^ while starting the engine, no. all gauge needles return to their minimum values when the starter is engaged-

huh, does that mean that the dash is digital? because on my escort, all the gauges stay in place, like they will stay in place when i shut it off but they will return to zero FAST when i turn the key, huh, because my speedo is nuts and it wobbles all over the gauge face, and makes a wierd grinding noise.

okay today i picked up a code for oil pressure switch circuit.... think its cause its been cranked so many times or does it sound like it may be the culprit? i wouldnt think it would cause a no start cause theres no oil pressure on start up anyways..

The only thing this will do is leak a small amount of oil here and there. Also be annoying due to the SES light. It's a fairly cheap fix...I just don't remember what the charge was for me.
