Hello,

Okay, an engine needs three things to start and if they are all present, your vehicle's engine has no choice but to start. They are, in no particular order. 1) Spark (delivered at the proper time. 2) Fuel. 3) Compression. Let's start with the first on the list and check for spark. I have included a link below for you to go to.

Please go through this guide and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
