Hello,

An engine needs three things for it to start. Fuel, spark (delivered to the spark plug at the correct time), and compression. It really has no choice but to start if all three of these are present. So let's start with the most popular one, spark, and make sure your vehicle is getting it. I have included a link below for you to go to:

Please go through this guide and get back to us with what you find out. We can figure out what to do next by what you find out.

Thanks,
