Crank no start?

Hi,

If you have power to the inertia switch, if the switch is good, it should have power out. The inertia switch is designed as a resettable switch. It contains a small metal ball or weight connected to a spring. Under normal driving conditions, the switch remains in the "on" position, allowing the fuel pump to operate. In the event of a collision or sudden impact, the metal ball inside the inertia switch moves due to the force. This movement causes the switch to open or disconnect the electrical circuit to the fuel pump, cutting off power to the pump. So, if you have power in, it should also have power out unless the switch needs reset or is faulty.

Let me know if that helps.

Hi,

It's under the hood on the driver's side. See pic below. Also, the EEC relay can be causing issues as well. Check to see if you have spark to the spark plugs. If there is none, switch the EEC relay with a different one having the same part number to see if it starts.

The EEC relay can shut down both fuel and spark. That's why I suggested that.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

Hi,

If it tried to start, then we are getting spark to the plugs. Is there any chance of a timing-related issue? Also, I need you to check for an injector pulse.

At each injector, there will be a red wire. That wire on each injector should have power when the key is on.

Also, each injector will have a wire of a different color. That goes to the PCM which provides a timed ground path to complete the circuit and actuate the injector.

See pic below

Here is what I need you to do. First, confirm there is power to the red wires. If there is, then take a test lamp and connect the alligator clip to the battery-positive terminal. Probe the wire that is a different color and have someone crank the engine. While cranking, the test light should strobe on and off.

Let me know what you find.

Take care,

Hi,

No problem whatsoever. Take your time. I'm sorry to hear about your brother's health. I hope he is okay.

Let me know what I can do to help. I agree, we need to get it running.

Take care,

Joe
