I just had my oil changed Saturday, then a new water pump put on the day after that on Sunday and I drove it all day Sunday and to work and back Monday. Then to the store and on the way home it shut off and stopped running. It will try to start then shut off. I replaced the battery it still won't start.

Hi,

In most cases, a crank no start condition is either the result of a fuel-related issue or an ignition-related issue. I need you to try something.

First, see if it will start if you use starter fluid. If it does and stalls, then we know it is fuel related. If there is no change, I need you to check for a spark at the plugs.

Here is a link that explains how to check:

Try this and let me know the results. Also, if you could record it cranking and upload it for me to hear, that would be helpful.

Take care and I hope you had a nice Christmas.

Joe
