RE: my 4100 wont start
To start and run a car needs Fuel, Air, Spark.
Idea #1 - Fuel delivery problem. Smell any gas while cranking?
Idea #2 - Ignition system issues. Plugs, Wires, Coil
Idea #3 - Low Battery.

Pull off the air cleaner lid. Have someone crank it over, can you you see 2 sprays of fuel from the injectors? We need to know what you've done to confirm spark or fuel. What have you done to investigate why it quit in the first place? Did it quit while driven or refuse to restart? We expect the poster to do some basic diagnosis before we can assist.

ok so when im looking for the fuel should it be pretty noticable to see when looking in after taking off the cleaner lid? if so i didnt see anything so ill check out my fuel filter and pump. anything else i should check?

Yes, should look like 2 shower heads spraying. keep in mind the fuel pump gets power thru the oil pressure switch by the oil filter. So, ck that connection. There are 2 fuses for the 2 injectors but that would be rare to blow both unless the injector harness got pinched under the air cleaner assembly. with the gas cap off, have someone turn the key to run. Place your ear to the gas filler neck, you should hear the pump run for 10 seconds or so.
