Hello,

An engine needs three things to start. It needs in no particular order, fuel, spark(delivered at the right time), and compression. If an engine has those three things, it really has no choice but to start. So, given the impressive mileage on your vehicle, let's double check and make sure that you have compression. Here are a couple of links for you to go to below:

Please go through these guides at the links up above and get back to us with the results of the test.

Thanks,
Alex
