About two weeks ago my car stalled out when I went over a railroad track and still has not restarted. We have changed the spark plugs and tried jumping the car. The car is fuel injected and we are pretty sure the starter is not the problem. The car will crank and crank and crank but nothing happens. Please If you have any other suggestions that won't cost me an arm and a leg i would be grateful.

Cranks but no start condition:

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
