Default car wont start!!!! need help!!!

so about a week ago i turned my car on and it turned on fine but there was no throttle response..so i shut the car off and turned it back on and it was good.As the last two weeks went on it did it more and more. till today. Now it wont start. It sounds like the pump isn't working but that wouldn't be in relations to the other weeks symptoms. I read somewhere here to try a reset..i need help.warranty ran out and just moved ..please tell me theres a quick fix..haha..burn it!

I doubt that the reset will fix it but, you cluld give it a shot. When you say that it won't start, does it crank?

now it wont crank it was at first and now i tried it again and nothing. I m trying to get my car over to a shop but no luck. Does anyone think it might be a fuse??
I spoke with a buddy with an s2k and he said he's blown fuse that would let the car start

If it no longer cranks then I would bet that it is the battery. Since it started when they replaced the AC belt, they probably didn't properly re-install the main drive belt which has to be removed to install the AC belt. Have you looked under the hood? If the belt is way loose (or missing) you may just need to belt tightened/replaced and then jump start the car.

Make sure that your battery connections are tight. I ran into a similar problem and it was because one of my battery connections wasn't tight.
