Hello,

I am helping a family member with this car. The car was running fine and one day while driving shut off. The car will crank great (confirmed at least 12v battery) but will not start. Using a spark tester all 6 plugs are getting spark. Tried starting fluid and it acts like it wants to run but never fires up. We've replaced the crank sensor with no luck tonight. I cannot find a troubleshooting flow chart or a FSM for this vehicle online, hope you guys can help.


Thanks!
Nick
