    So, I had just got the intake mainfold gasket replaced and got it back from the shop last night, drove home fine and everything, woke up this morning and now it is not starting.
    Any suggestions? Can't find anyone to give me a jump at the moment, so if its the battery then i'll know a little later on.

    Does the motor spin over ok, just not fire? Check all your wiring connections. Also check your fuses. Do you hear the fuel pump prime for a few seconds when you turn the key to on?

    ^^Pump is important...so listen to the little hum when you turn the key to the "ON" position.

    If you can get it started, and then it dies...unplug the MAF sensor on the top of the throttle body and try starting it...if it starts fine then; the shop probably fubared and pissed off your MAF sensor by probably banging it around more than they should have.
