So i was trying to idle up my sloped driveway and stalled my car. Now when i try and turn it over there is nothing. Theres power to all the extras and stuff, and even the fuel pump, but the starter doesnt kick in. I looked at the nuetral switch and it looked fine, even took it all apart and adjusted it properly but still nothin. Anyone have any other ideas, i would be very happy to try them.

did you jump the solenoid? this removes the starter interlock devices (safety switch, ignition switch, etc).

Jrichker has a nice write up on how to check the starter wiring systematically, once you get it to start some way or another.
good luck.

not if done for testing purposes (i dont believe the interlock devices, such as cutting power to certain circuits during crank mode would be active, but it is not big deal).

as for when you can find the write up: any time you decide to search for it.
