Engine cranks but does not start

Hello,

Usually when the engine cranks over strong but not start, it is due to lack of fuel or spark.

Have you checked to see what was the fuel pressure? If the fuel pressure is low, it will not be able to start the engine.
This engine should have 48-55 PSI of fuel pressure, with the key on and engine off.

Here is a helpful guide on how to test fuel pressure:

Low fuel pressure can be due to a weak pump or a bad fuel pressure regulator.

Also, you want to make sure that the plugs are getting spark.

Please let me know your findings.
Thank you.

Hello, I think you're going to find that fuel pressure is the issue here. When you have a plugged-up fuel filter, it causes the fuel pump to be over worked trying to push fuel through that filter and it just wears the pump out. If you are able to get a good fuel pressure reading, which by your first message it seems you do. Below is the spec for fuel pressure and some other instructions concerning fuel pressure. To sum things up for you a little faster, you should have 48-55 PSI when you turn the key to the On Position and the fuel pump should prime up to that level. It should hold that level and not drop more than 5 PSI in 10 minutes.
The car should also hold that 48-55 psi while running. If it's not holding that pressure, or it drops when you raise the RPMs you're probably going to need a new fuel pump and I would also do another fuel filter and also the fuel pump relay in this case. You have high mileage, and these components just plain wear out. It will save you hassle in the future. Let us know what your pressure is and what you find. We really like having a follow up. Thanks
