My astro recently stopped on me. No warning. It cranked and wouldn't start. I've replaced a bad starter, fuel filter, drive belt, alternator, battery, and oil pressure sensor; as well as the fuel pump relay. It almost turned over 3 times, but no action. Please help for I am almost out of money. I did buy the ignition cool but haven't put it on till I got a 2ND opinion. Help

GOT COIL?

WHAT THE HECK. STICK IT ON TOO!

NOW LET'S BACK UP AND FIGGER OUT WHAT'S MISSING?

COMPRESSION---FUEL---OR SPARK?

LET'S DO THIS OUTSIDE. HAVE A WET TOWEL AND A FIRE EXTINGUISHER HANDY. STUFF DOES HAPPEN!

EZ TEST FOR FUEL, OR LACK OF, BEING THE PROBLEM---SHOOT A 2-3 SECOND BURST OF STARTER FLUID INTO THE THROTTLE BODY AND TRY TO START IT

WHAT HAPPENS. DID IT SPIT AND SPUTTER. RUN FOR 3 SECONDS. WHAT DID IT DO?
