Cranks will not start

Hi,

We need to check a couple of things. First, when you have a crank no start condition, usually it is either loss of ignition spark to the plugs or a fuel issue. The easiest way to check this is to see if it will start a couple of seconds using starting fluid. If it does, then we know it is a fuel-related issue. If it doesn't change, then it is likely ignition-related.

If you would rather, here are two links. The first explains in general how to check fuel pressure. The second is for testing for ignition spark.

Also, here is a link that explains the most common causes of a crank no start condition:

Pic 1 below shows the manufacturer's specifications for fuel pressure.

If you find there is no spark, I suspect it could be a bad or faulty crankshaft position sensor. Take a look through this link. It explains common symptoms of a faulty crankshaft position sensor.

If you have no spark and that link mirrors what you experience, here is a link that shows in general how one is replaced:

If you find the sensor is bad, I attached the directions and pics below specific to your vehicle for sensor replacement. See pics 2 and 3.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
