Default Re: Can't get car to start!

Tried to start it up and it turns over but doesn't start, checked all the fuses they are fine, the battery is fine...

So I'm thinking its either the alternater,starter motor or immobiliser problem.

I had a immobiliser problem a few months back, where the fob would not work to lock/unlock the car and the alarm kept going off... but this got fixed...

So I really don't know what the problem is this time, if anyone could offer any tips i'd greatly appreciate it...
I would get the alternator checked, the battery is not getting charged.
