Will turn over and crank but will not start. It is getting fuel and firing. Any suggestions on what it might be?

There are a number of things that can cause this but if you are getting spark and fuel then air and compression are the only two things left that would prevent a start.

However, here is a guide that will help with this:

Unless something happened causing you to lose compression, I suspect we are missing something with the fuel.

So even though you are getting fuel we need to confirm the pressure and go from there.

Here is a guide that will help with checking the pressure:

If the fuel pressure is too low, then you will not get the engine to start so let's run through this info and go from there because the next thing is a compression check.

Let me know what questions you have.

Thanks
