I just finished replacing a faulty starter. It would kick the starter out over and over then finally catch and start so I put a new starter on. Now it turns over but will not start.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

A few things can cause this to happen. First, I need you to read through this link. It discusses the most common causes of a crank no start condition.

If it ran prior to replacing the starter, my guess is the problem is electrical. Do me a favor. See if it will start with starting fluid, even for a couple seconds. If it does, the problem is fuel related, but if it doesn't, then it is ignition related (no spark to plugs).

Here are a couple links you may find helpful:

Let me know what you find.
