Hi,

we need to check for spark and fuel to the engine. First, take a look through this link:

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/car-cranks-but-wont-start

Let me know specifically what is happening. Also, if the starter is working, see if the engine starts using starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, we know it is a fuel-related issue. If it doesn't make a change, then it is likely ignition-related.

One last thing, if you can, record the engine cranking and upload it for me to hear. I may be able to recognize an issue.

Let me know.

Joe
