Hi,

What codes were present prior to clearing them?

In most cases, a crank no-start condition is caused either by a fuel-related issue or ignition. Here is what I want you to try. See if it starts for a couple of seconds using starting fluid. If it starts and then stalls, we know there is a fuel-related issue. If there is no change, then check to see if there is spark to the plugs.

Here is a link that explains how to check for spark:

Additionally, here is a link you may find helpful as well:

Let me know what you find.

Take care,

Joe
