Re: Not starting.

When you turn the key to RUN (not START), can you hear the fuel pump run? You should be able to hear it for a moment as it builds up pressure, then shuts off.

But tick-tick-tick means the engine isn't even trying to turn over, right? So even if the fuel pump isn't pumping fuel, there's another problem. My guess: the battery is shot from being discharged.
