If its cranking over and will not start-Check battery and alternator then refer to below
http://www.2carpros.com/articles/car-cranks-but-wont-start
Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, Do you hear the fuel pump come On when you turn key on? If not check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay if okay-check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,cap and rotor,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing
they replaced the battery with a fully charged one and it wont start. cant check the alternator if car wont start right?
They can be tested at an auto parts store- Explain this-car won't start
One more time -is it cranking over and will not start? Or just won't crank over at all/nothing when key at crannking position
if its cranking and wont start.pour fuel in the intake.does it start?if no check the coils and wires for spark.ty for using 2carpos
**No crank at all/nothing/nada when key is engage to starting position
Could be a blown fusible link, the starter, starter relay, clutch switch/park and neutral switch/transmission position switch and ignition switch assuming the battery condition and connections are good. Note:If it doesn't apply disregard.
you need to read the voltage with a meter at the starter with the key in start position.
thank you so much for trying to help me. I spoke with him this morning and asked him about what you suggested. i asked him to read the voltage w a meter at the starteer w the key in the start position he said he did and it has voltage there. i feel like hes tried everything at this point. any thoughts on what else it cld be? what is the worse case scenario? thanks again!
try tapping the starter with a hammer.with the key in start poss.does it start?your getting start voltage their so the starter assy. needs to be replaced.ty for using 2carpros
