Default my sc300 isint starting!!

Two days earlier i put in a full tank of 87 which i do rarely. I drove the car home from work and the next morning my sc wouldnt start,so i asked my roomate for a ride to work. I wake up the next day and the sc starts perfectly. i drive to work,park and work my lunch shift. When i go to start my car to go to my next job for my dinner shift the car wont start again but this time its for good.

I figured out its not the battery thats for sure all the windows work normally,the radio works the lights are still bright as usual. I figured it was the starter (even though there was no clicking at all and the car still turned over )so i changed that out and now the car turns over like a champ but she still wont fire up.

what do you think it could be? maybe the fuel pump?

P.S the oil is still clear the coolant is topped off and the sc drove perfectly the day before no sputtering or smoking at all! this is such a suprize because the sc drove fine the day before!!

So I take it the car cranks?

Can you hear the fuel pump prime when you first turn the ignition on?

Suggestions on what it could be: Ignitor, Cam/Crank POS and/or fuel pump.

Just a coincidence that it happened right after pumping 87. Using a lower grade of fuel is not going cause your car to not fire up.

Like vnt has mentioned, check for spark and fuel.

How did it get disconnected? Strange for a clip to pop right off.

Don't fill 87, go 91 or high or else you might have some problems.
