True the ignition it cranks and cranks but won't catch then cuts out. Sounds like a exhale. Brand new battery. I don't think it could be electrical everything is working.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

It could be a few different things. For an engine to run, it needs fuel, ignition spark, compression, correct timing, and air. Take any of them away and it won't run.

First, I want you to read through this link. It discusses the most common reasons for a crank no start condition.

Let me know if anything there is helpful, what you find, or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
