Hi,

Chances are either it is a fuel related issue or ignition. What I want you to try is this. See if it starts for a couple seconds using starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, we know it's fuel related. If it doesn't make a difference, then it's likely an ignition problem.

Here is a link you may find of interest. It explains the most common causes of a crank no start condition. Take a look through it and see if anything helps.

If there is no change with starting fluid, here is a link that explains how to check for ignition spark:

Start with these things and let me know what you find. This will help us identify on which circuit or system to focus.

Take care and let me know.
