Default ouch...

Went to start my car before work today..... it turns over and thats about it. With the lack of independent Audi mechanics in Iowa, I may be forced to take it to the stealership.[:@]

I wish I knew enough to answer your questions (other than the fuel). Basically I turn the key and it does the starter cycle but doesn't kick on. I can't really explain a whole lot more cus I just don't understand how it all works heh.

turn ignition key till the dash lights come on but don't crank the engine then listen for the fuel pump to start for a second or so if nothing happens check all fuses

I didn't even think to check fuses when the initial problem happened, I'll check that out as well as the sparkplugs when I get home from work tonight.
