Got it. Cranks but wont fire.
No crank and no start (duh) - Check the Relay Control Module
If you see the pins its time to resolder.
Solder now covers and connects pins.
Pics from my relay resolder.

Just a quick note:
As the cars age, we have found yet another reason for the "no crank", and it happened to my car on September 15, the coil in the Engine Control Relay went open. Has the same effect, 'cept the only fix is to replace the relay. So everyone must get the 'heads up': If reflowing the solder does not fix it, it can still be the RCM, and
IF the RCM if the fan test is 'yes', it is still the RCM.
That is, you turn the key to start, don't get the starter to engage, so you let the key go back to ON and wait 30 seconds.
Does the engine fan warp up to high speed?
If 'yes', then your ECR coil has probably opened, which you can verify by connecting the RCM to the wiring while OUT of it's box. Turn key to "ON", the Fuel Pump, ABS and ECR relays should close and the ABS and ECR relays should stay closed. If only ONE is/stays closed, there is your problem.
