It turned over just fine but wouldnt start. I tried it a couple of times and no go. The battery is just fine, it was turning over plenty fast. But then I turned off the key completely and then tried it again and it started. Im not sure if that had anything to do with it. Any ideas?

Might just be your IAC. Did it try to fire up but couldn't hold an idle?

It wouldnt fire up at all. It just turned over like it wasnt getting any fuel. I just thought it was strange how it started fine after turning the key all the way off.

If it wont start the next time you try, put your foot all the way down on the gas before you try to start it, hold it down, then try to start it like that. Try it a few times, your car could be flooded, and holding the gas down sends the signal for the computer to cut fuel to start the engine.
