It turns over like it wants to start but doesn't. I checked the fuel pump is working. I checked my fuses one had to be replaced. it was having trouble turning over for awhile now. It got a new battery. No oil leaks.

Hi,

The idea that it cranks and doesn't start can be caused by a few things. Although the fuel pump is running, it may not be producing enough pressure. Also, there may be no ignition spark to the spark plugs.

Do me a favor. Take a look through this link. It explains the most common causes of a crank no start condition. Once you look through it, let me know what has been checked and what hasn't. Also, if it is possible, record the engine cranking so I can hear it. I can tell if it is something not related to the common issues.

I will watch for your reply. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
