Crank no start issue?

Hi,

Does the starter engage with the engine and turn it and then the engine just doesn't start? Also, is the temperature outside still below 0? I ask because yes, the cold may have affected the battery, but if it is cranking with a jump, it should still start. It makes me think you may have fuel line freeze up which isn't common, but it can happen.

Do me a favor. First, make sure the battery terminals on your vehicle are clean and tight.

Next, if the engine cranks okay with your battery, great. If it doesn't, I would recharge it.

After the battery is good, then I want you to see if the engine will start with starting fluid. If it starts and then stalls, we know there is a fuel-related issue. If there is no change, then I need you to check for spark at the spark plugs.

Here is a link that explains how to check:

Try this and let me know the results. Also, if you need to jump-start it, make sure not to create sparks when using the starting fluid.

Take care and I'll watch for your reply.
