Hi all, wondering if anyone can figure out what this is. I am turning my key over in the ignition. I hear it turning over but the engine won't start. Once in awhile it will give a buck like its about to start but that will be it. Any thoughts? Cheers.

it could be a number of things. the thing you need to check is if the motor is getting enough fuel, spark and air. something simple as a restricted air filter could be a problem, a bad fuel pump or clogged fuel filter, fouled spark plugs, ignition module, etc. the thing you need to do is find out is, if it's fuel, spark, or air related. lets us know.

Determine whether the no-start is fuel, spark, or air related. Check for a restricted air filter, failed fuel pump, clogged fuel filter, fouled spark plugs, and a faulty ignition module.
