Cranks will not start

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

It could be a couple things. First, I would suggest reading through this link:

Now, based on your description, it sounds like a fuel pressure issue or a bad crank sensor. Here is a link that describes a bad crank sensor and one that shows in general how one is replaced:

If you determine there is no spark to the plugs, this is my first suspect. Here is a link showing how to check spark:

Here are a few links that you may find helpful when working with the ignition:

Here are the directions specific to your vehicle for sensor replacement

CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR

Removal and Installation
1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist.
2. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
3. Remove the accessory drive belt.
4. Disconnect the A/C compressor electrical connector.
5. Remove the 3 bolts and position the A/C compressor aside.
- To install, tighten to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft).

6. Disconnect the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor electrical connector.
7. Remove the bolt and the CKP sensor. Discard the O-ring seal.
- To install, tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).
- Lubricate the new O-ring seal with clean engine oil prior to installation.

8. To install, reverse the removal procedure.

Now, if you find the spark is good, then check fuel pump pressure. Here is a link that shows how that is done.

Here are the manufacturer's specs for fuel pressure.


Fuel Pressure
Key on, engine off .................... 240-310 kPa (35-45 psi)
Engine running .................... 193-310 kPa (28-45 psi)
