Engine turns over but will not start

Hi Stevewalley7,

That sounds like the alternator is failing, boy when it rains to pours! whilethe engine is running check the voltage output,, here is a guide which can help you

Let me know what you find

Check to see if you are getting spark to the plugs. Also, if you are getting spark, check the fuel pump pressure.

Hi Stevewalley7

It could be related to the crank angle sensor since that is the most relevant code, most things that says workshop are computer sensor related lets start by replacing the CKS (crankshaft angle) sensor.

Let me know what happens

Okay, if the engine turns fast, there is a loss of compression. Either bent valves or the timing is wrong. Please keep in mind, the belt may have jumped a few teeth and still look good, but be off. You need to check that again and tell me what you find.

If the engine is off, you can't bend a valve. I didn't know that. If the engine is turning fast, however, there can't be enough compression to start the engine. You are getting gas and spark because you said the plugs were wet and you had spark. I need you to check engine compression. If you need directions, go to our homepage under the diy section.

Let me know what the compression is in all cylinders. If you can and want, video tape it so I can hear what is going on. I could tell you right away if the compression is to low. Also, while sitting, you may have had a couple valves stick open.

Hi Stevewalley7

The code 16706 rpm sensor, is the crankshaft angle sensor.

Please let me know.

Best, Ken

Sir, if you get spark and fuel, have good compression, and the timing is correct, the engine has to run. It has no choice. You told me it turns fast, faster than it did before? If so, the compression is low.

Really cold where you are located?

A stuck valve can cause low compression. If you check engine compression, I can point you in the right direcion. If I am wrong, then we need to check the timing. Since the car sat for so long, there is a chance that a few valves have stuck in the open position.

For directions on checking compression, visit our homepage under the DIY section. It isn't hard to do. You will need a compression gauge. Most parts stores will lend or rent them to you.

Let me know what you find. Also, if you can send a video and upload it for me to listen to, it may help.

If your valve guides are dry---when you turned the engine over initially, they may have stuck in the "open" position----spring's can't make them return to closed----just a thought

Do compression test
