Car will not start

Hello,

So when you say your car cranked, do you mean it started? Usually cranking means your starter is turning the engine, but it doesn't start. The Idle Air Control Valve(IAC) is for when your vehicle's engine is running, when your foot is not pressing the gas pedal, it diverts air around your vehicle's closed throttle plate to keep it running. The IAC would have nothing to do with the starting of your vehicle. Please get back to us with if your vehicle startes, the engine cranked but did not start, or if you turn the ignition key and you hear a clicking noise, or if you turn the ignition key and nothing at all happens.

Thanks,

Hello again,

Okay, your vehicle needs three things to start.

1) Spark(delivered at the proper time).
2) Fuel.
3) Compression.
If these three things are present your vehicle's engine has no choice but to start. So, by a process of elimination, let's get to why your vehicle is not starting. Let's start with spark. I have included a link below for you to go to.

Hello,

Okay, Do you hear any noises coming from the front of the engine? Also when you turn the engine over does it spin and not even try to crank?

Thanks,
