I have replaced the alternator, the battery, plugs, plug wires, you name it. It tries its hardest to start, it turns over. it has gas going to it it has spark but it will not start. I'm at my witts end. I absolutely love this car it's about and paid for so I don't want to have to buy a new one I just can't get it to start. I'm to the point I'm ready to burn it to the ground. I replaced sensor after sensor and I just cannot afford to keep playing the guessing game. I can't get anybody to help me any suggestions out there.

Good morning,

The first thing I would do is check the compression to be sure the timing is good.

You can rent a tester from a parts store and check the plugs at the front.
