Crank but will not start?

Hi,

Hang in there. We can do this. LOL

First, take a look at this link. You may find it helpful.

When you have a crank with no start condition, usually it is the result of a fuel issue or ignition spark issue. However, there are other things as well. If the engine sounds different when cranking, it could be a timing issue. If you feel it sounds different, record it and upload it for me to hear. I can usually tell if there is a timing issue just by listening to it crank.,

Next, try this. See if the engine will start for a couple of seconds using starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, we know it is a fuel-related issue. If there is no change, then it is likely ignition related. At this point, we need to check for spark to the plugs.

Here is a link that explains how to do it:

Performing these two tests will narrow things down to the circuit causing the issue. Also, if you can record it and upload it for me to hear, it will help.

Take care and let me know what you find or if you have questions.

Take care,

Joe
