So we need to find out which system is causing the not starting. An engine needs three things to start, fuel, spark, and compression. So this is just a matter of finding out which one is causing this issue. That is done by eliminating each one, one at a time.
Start with fuel. To eliminate this, take starter fluid and spray it in the intake and see if the engine starts. If not, remove a spark plug and hold it against the block and see if there is ignition. Lastly we need to check compression.
