Today when I tried to start my car (petrol) I saw that my car is not starting. Battery is good and charged, even I put new battery but nothing helps. The car just crank but wont start. Can you tell me what's the problem and how can I solve that?

Hello, I'm Danny.

The 2 things to check are to see if you are getting fuel and spark. I would suggest removing a spark plug and place back into spark plug wire/coil pack.Have someone crank engine over and see if that spark plug is firing.As far as fuel if you don't have a fuel system tester most auto parts stores have a tool loaner program and can rent you one. Here is a tutorial showing what is involved:

The fuel pressure specification should be 40-50 p.s.i.. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
