Default Help! Car want start

My 89 Coup won't start. We had back to back cold nights in Texas and this morning my car turns over but won't start. Any suggestions?

well, then first thing I'd say to do is check for spark. Pull a spark plug out and set it on top of the intake with the plug wire still attached. Have someone turn the motor over and watch to see if spark is getting to the plug.

FYI-When my fuel pump in my 87 was on the way out it started humming pretty loud. I agree that more info is needed.
