HI
The car starts fine when it does but for some reason
every few days it turns over fine but will not start. I leave it for a couple of days and it starts. The car runs fine no missing good gas consuption lots of power but it just will not start after sitting for a day or so. Sometimes that is the part that is making me nuts.
Sure would like some help with this
tks
John

Next time it refuses to start do below and tell me what's missing fuel or spark-

Get a carb cleaner and spray into the carb or the throttle body on an EFI. Did it start and die? If not disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors-
