Crank no start issue

Just to be clear, you had all that smoke and when the smoke stopped it would not restart? Now it is a crank no start?

If that is the case then we need to start with a compression check. I am thinking that the vehicle was overheating and now it has warped the head and caused the loss of compression. So let's follow this guide and find out if that is the case:

If the compression is ok then we need to start checking for spark and fuel because those are the only other two things you need to start the engine. Here is a guide that will help with this:

Let us know what you find and we can go from there. Thanks

Okay. Does the relay click when you turn the key to the on position?

Here is a guide on how to test it to be sure:

Also, I attached the test for the relay from the manual. Basically it just wants you to touch it and see if it clicks when turning the key. If it does not, I would replace it or swap it with another just to see if it is the relay.

Let me know what you find with this. Thanks

Yes. You can jump this relay by jumping the power terminal to the output terminal.

I showed this on the diagram attached. Let's just make sure you have power on the black and blue wire that I put the question mark next too. If you don't have power on that wire then the relay will not close. You should have power there in the run position.

Let me know what you find. Thanks

Sounds great. Thanks for the updates. Since you were able to get it started, we are going to need to get a new post started if you need help with these since it is a new issue. We need to keep each post to one topic just so that others can find the answers if they have the same issue.

Okay. Keep us updated. Thanks

If you are jumping the relay, you want to install the jumper with the key off, then turn the key to the start position. Or you can test the R10 position shown below for voltage with the relay installed when starting to see if you have voltage. If you have voltage on the R10 then the relay is working.

That is great that you found it but we need to refer back to my first response and make sure the head is not warped. If the head is warped it would have pushed the head gasket out and if you just replace it, it will fail again. Take a straight edge when you have the head off and put it across the head and make sure you can't see light under the straight edge.

Here is the process from the manual on the head gasket. Let us know if you need more detail.

You got it. Let us know when you get this wrapped up and if you discover anything that would help others. This is a good post because you stuck with us and kept us updated. Thanks for using 2CarPros.
