I notice when I hookup a battery charger to the battery when I open the car door the inside light will come on, but when I unhook the charger after charging all day, the next morning when I open door the inside does not come on. Will that cause the engine crank but no start? If so what I must do to fix the problem?

I could not pull up any codes because the car just crank but no start. When the car was running it had code p1343 misfire at number one cylinder fuel cut off. I tried to start the car I notice that the rpm did not move then I spray some starting fluid I tried starting it again the rpm was moving but it still will not start, it is getting gas. I put in new coils and spark plugs fuel injectors. It been starting with that code, after a week of cold weather it started up a couple of time next day it would start up.

Ah! getting warmer, It sounds like a crankshaft angle sensor is your problem which when they go bad they will not give a trouble codes for it and the car will not start. Here is a a guide to help you see what you are in for when doing the job:

You will need to jack the car up.

Please let us know what happens.
