You said it doesn't even turn over? That would be a starter problem. Possibly loose connection... Someone should know for sure

I had a similar problem, The connections weren't on very well/corrosion so it was getting enough power to acutally turn the starter. replaced all the power wires and now its great.

hey man just take out the starter and have it tested for free at your nearest parts store. that is of course after you test the conections and make sure you have battery power and no fuses or anything obviously makin it not start. i always check the easy stuff first
