No spark from coil and no fuel in rail

The vehicle would start sometimes and not others , I checked fuel rail and it had pressure then checked the coil which had no spark at that point I changed the crank sensor and the car started no problem , this morning it refused to start and upon checking the coil and fuel rail I now have no spark and no fuel pressure. there are no fault lights to indicate any problems and everything else is in working order ,the car is a 2lt on an 04 plate

SOURCE: ABS and brake fault warning

I has a clicking/knocking noise on one of my 407 (54 plate) front wheels after a change of brake pads. On investigation I found that the bracket to which the caliper hydraulic hose was fixed (at the lower end of the suspension strut) had been bent downward and was catching the CV boot clip. I bent it back up and the noise went. It is possible (if the brake caliper is not supported during pad change) to bend the bracket supporting the hydraulic hose. It could also interfere with the ABS wheel sensor bracket - check. Simply jack-up and support the car on the side with the noise and turn the wheel by hand to see what gives (don't go under the car until it is supported safely)..

2004 E Class Mercedes will sometimes start and go for days and then suddenly acts like it will turn over but, does not start. What's wrong?

When you have the no start you need to make sure the fuel pump is energizing and that you have fuel in the fuel rail with pressure. You may be having the beginning of a bad fuel pump ready to go south. Second option would to be sure when turning to start the vehicle that you have power to the ignition coil. You need gas and electric spark to start any vehicle. Without either, the vehicle will just crank.

Car Won' Start

Car won't start?
First thing would be to check all your fuses. Most fuse boxes are located under the driver side dash panel. Some cars do have an extra set of fuses on passenger side kick panel (foot area on door side)
If all fuses are good, then next thing would be to test your relays with an ohmmeter.
If all your your relays and fuses are good, you will want to check for fuel and spark. A car needs air, fuel and spark to run.
To check for spark, you can purchase and use a spark tester.
If you cannot obtain a spark tester, then the next best thing would be an ohmmeter. You can test the power coming from your coil packs or distributor depending on what you have. On distributorless vehicles (one with coil packs) the coil pack are attached to an ignition module. This module is powered by the Crankshaft Position Sensor. This sensor can be tested with an ohmmeter. The Crankshaft Position Sensor is the first thing to be tested if you have no spark in any cylinder. If you have spark in some cylinders but not all, then check the coil pack (1 pack per 2 cylinders).
If you have a distributor, test the coil that provides the spark.
If you have plenty of good strong spark, then the next step would be to check for fuel.
Fuel system consists of Fuel Tank, Fuel Pump, Fuel pump Relay, Fuel Filter, Fuel Pressure Regulator and finally carberator or injectors.
Fuel injected systems have a fuel rail. On the fuel rail is a test port for fuel pressure. If you have a fuel pressure tester you can test how much fuel pressure you have. Or you can place a rag over the valve and press it in to see if there is pressure. If not pressure, check that pump is running. You should hear it run for a few seconds when key is first placed in the ON position. If pump is not running, check fuses and pump relay.
If pump is running but fuel pressure is low, check for leaks, plugged fuel filter, or leaky injector.
If your check engine light is on, then you likely have a faulty sensor or circuit and should have the engine codes read with a code reader/scanner to pinpoint exact problem area.

We bought a 1992 pontiac bonneville. It doesn't start. Changed the spark plugs, new battery. Changed the IGN module and IGN coil. still won't start.

What's missing ? Does it have spark ? Pull a plug wire off the vehicle an see if it has spark ! Buy a fuel pressure gauge an hook it to the schrader valve on the fuel injector rail . Is there fuel pressure ? Does the engine have compression ? No Start Diagnostic Basics EricTheCarGuy

I have a Ford Expedition XLT with a crank no start I changed the fuel pump and check all the fuses can somebody else tell me what may be the problem

A "crank, no start" condition is usually because either gas or spark has been lost. You changed the pump, but now you need to verify that gas at the proper pressure is at the engine's fuel rail. You would need a fuel pressure gauge tester for that- Autozone and others loan them, too. Or, do you hear the pump turn on with the key cycled to on, not start? It should turn on for 2 seconds to pressurize the fuel lines and the fuel rail. If it turns on, probably at proper pressure since you have a new pump, but never hurts to check the pressure. If it doesn't turn on for those 2 seconds with key in ON, then you will have to diagnose the fuel pump circuit. Post back for that.
Next thing to check is spark. Buy a simple spark tester at the parts store (real cheap) and hook it up to a spark plug wire, crank the engine over, and watch for a strong blue spark. Good idea to check more than just one plug wire-sometimes a bad coil will lose spark at a particular cylinder. If you have good spark (a blue, snapping spark), then assume the ignition system is good, and so then you would need to verify the injectors are putting gas into the cylinders-post back if you need to test the injector circuit.
If no spark, then the ignition system has a failure-this can be from a bad Ignition Control Module, a bad crank position sensor, or cam position sensor, among other things. Good luck.

Car is cranking fine but will not start

the easy way to find out the problem is get some starting fluid and take the mass airflow sensor out and spray some in there and it will got to your throttle body or you could just spray in the body and if it starts and then dies you know that you have lost fuel but if it doesnt start then you lost spark if your car has a fuel rail and the car starts and then stops you can check to see if you have fuel pressure on the fuel rail there is a big bolt on the rail crack open a hair and have someone turn the over to energize the pump not on but over if fuel sprays out then you have pressure but if it still doesnt start then change your fuel filter chances are that its clogged but if its spark change your spark plugs and wires and if that doesnt do it then change the distributor or if you have coil on coil then change all the spark plug coils

95 chevy Tahoe will not start, has spark at the coil cranks over fine and gas.

Hi Jonathan, Make sure you have injection as well as fuel in the rail. Sometimes the anti theft unit will cut the injection and therefore the vehicle cannot start. have the vehicle scanned and then rectify what ever defects and faults show up. Another reason for nil injection could be a defective cam or crank sensor. Sometime removing and cleaning them will work. Regards John
