Hi,

In most crank no-start conditions, it is either fuel or ignition spark. Here is what I need you to do.

See if the engine will start if you use starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, we know it is fuel related. I know you have fuel to the fuel rail, but if it isn't being injected into the engine, it won't start.

If there is absolutely no change with the starting fluid, I need you to check for spark at the spark plugs.

Here is a link that explains how that is done:

Try this and let me know the results.

Take care,

Joe
