After changing the seal on the harmonic balancer I started the car to see if the seal will leak, then turned it off. Now the car will not start it will turn over, but does not start I checked the fuses in the trunk one was blown. Changed it, but still car will not start.

Hey ANTHONY,

It sounds like the fuel pump could have gone out, lets start by checking the fuel pressure and then see if the engine has spark. Also check the wiring ground near the job you just did, something they can be loose or left off.

Here are a few guides that will help.

Please run some tests and get back to us so we can continue helping you.

Best, Ken
