I have tried everything starter checked replaced the cam and crank sensor and plugs. Only way it will start is if turn the crank a 1/4 of the way. What's my problem please?

Hi,

I'm not sure I understand. What do you mean by turn the crank a 1/4 of the way? Is the starter not engaging or does the starter engage and the engine not start? Also, is it the starter clicking?

Here is a link that explains how to test the starter circuit. Take a look through it if the problem is the starter won't engage.

If the starter does engage but the engine fails to start, see if this link helps:

Let me know exactly what is happening, if it happened all at once, and if possible, record what it is doing and upload it for me to hear.

Take care,

Joe
