Car will turn over but will not start. have already cleaned everything and I am pretty sure check all the ground wires all the fuses on wires. I replaced the fuel filter and fuel pump check the line getting gas have not checked the plugs yet or the O2 sensor could it be the crankshaft sensor? Thank you and have a blessed day.

Hi COUEY,

If you need to scan for codes here is a link to an article that features written step by step instructions and pictures explaining how to do the scan yourself, also I have included a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning.

This is applicable even if your check engine light is not on.

Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one online from sites like Amazon.com

Once you have the codes please get back to us so that we can further assist you. We are always happy to help.

Thank you for visiting 2CarPros.com.

All the best,

I would like to know if the engine has compression. Does to sounds the same when you turn the engine over?
