So my car will crank, but the engine will not turn over. Any ideas on what the issue can be?

Its quite odd cause it wants to start up, but won't turn on.

Is it the starter? Ignition fuse link?

Sorry for the 'rush' post...i'm just caught off guard and luckily at a friend's house.

could be ignition coil and/or distributor.. had the same problem and it turned out to be those.. see if you get spark from your coil by unplugging center plug from distributor that connects to the coil, then try to start the car and have someone let you know if spark comes out the wire or not..if no spark..replace the coil.. if the problem persists then change the distributor..
