Engine cranks but does not start?

Hi,

If you have spark, then it isn't getting fuel into the engine. You may have fuel pressure at the rail, but the injectors are likely not getting power. You could test it by seeing if it starts using starting fluid and then stalls. If it does, then go to the injectors. Each injector will have a pink wire. That is the power supply for each injector. With the key on, see if there is power to the pink wire at each injector.

Also, I attached the schematic of the fuel injectors. Note the pink wire is spliced. There could be corrosion or damage at a splice.

Let me know what you find.

This could explain a lot! I will let you know if this turns out to be the case. Thank you so much!

So, the spark plugs have a very weak spark. Could it be a ground issue?

Hi,

Yes, there could be a ground issue, a faulty coil, a faulty control module, and so on. So, let's start with testing the coil.

Take a look at the attachments below. Those explain how to test an ignition coil. Let me know if you are comfortable performing them.

Take care and let me know what you find.

See pics below.

The coil was replaced and the coilodupe was replaced twice. I was getting code for high voltage in coil. After the second replacement of coil module the code went away. That's why I'm thinking it's a ground wire somewhere. Is there any way to test ground wires? Or should I just test all of them?

Hi,

If you suspect an issue with a ground circuit, check to see if there is continuity to ground from the coil driver to its grounding point via the wire in question. In this case, it is a black wire.

As far as the ground location, it will be at the rear of the right cylinder head. See pic below.
