Hi,

If you have a crank with no start condition, usually the engine has either lost spark or fuel.

Here is what I need you to try. See if it starts 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 suspect an ignition spark issue. If that is the case, you need to check for spark to the plugs.

Here is a link that explains how it's done:

Also, there is an inertia switch that may need to be reset, so let me know what size engine the vehicle has.

Take care and let me know what you find.

Joe
