a couple things could be the issue: 1. check battery terminals and cables, look for green oxidation on the Neg and Pos cable(s) and check where the cables connect to the battery (normally white caked on clump) clean with baking soda and water combo, be careful use gloves and goggles. once the post and connectors are clean, apply a little vaseline to both terminals. 2. have battery checked out to make sure it is fully charged (autozone or local auto parts store should be able to do this for free) 3. check starter connections (I had a similar problem and one wire was not secure, this fixed it for me). 4. check fuses and relays, in addition to the cable, I needed a fuse that limits the voltage coming into the fuse box. 5. starter solenoid, this could need replacing, it is not engaging the starter to crank the engine. Good Luck and I hope one of these can solve your issue!

Unfortunately you probably need a new distributor. There are three pick-up coils mounted down inside the base of it. They go bad quite commonly. The unfortunate part is; the new distributor will come with a new cap, rotor, coil and module...which you have already bought. The distributors are not that expensive though, maybe you can sell the extra parts???

I believe its the main relay u are looking for. This relay controls the fuel pump and spark. Its located under the steering column. Grey in color and usually has one bolt attaching it. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: 1993 HONDA ACCORD WILL NOT

Starter fluid, if used, simulates fuel going into the throttle body or carburetor.

If starter fluid is present in the intake manifold and the car doesn't start when the 4 spark plugs have bright spark, then the fuel is not getting to the engine somehow. This indicates a bad fuel pump or blown fuse for the fuel pump or wiring to it. It could also mean that the fuel injector(s) are plugged or not firing due to the computer not working right.

Do you hear the fuel pump working when the ignition key is turned to ignition? What is the pressure using a gauge?

If the engine's starter cranks the engine then the starter is ok.

If the engine cranks and cranks and won't start, possible timing belt skipped a few teeth or broke.

Check the fuel injectors by listening to them clicking with a stethoscope. If they don't then having pressure present from the fuel pump is not enough to allow the engine to start and run on its own power.

Good luck on this repair on startability.

2003 Chevy Impala cranks but won't start. Low voltage to fuel injector and misfire in cylinder 3 and no power to fuel pump.

cranks ok, but will not start
well he low voltage (non told) is from cranking the battery flat/low.
so charge the battery ;.
P0303 codes right? and no others?
power to the fuel pump happens only 3 ways
1: the priming action to pump key on for 1 to 2 seconds, as you can see that is a 2 person job. lacking huge long meter test leadss
2 cranking the pump runs only cranked.
3: engine running.,fully and sustained.
No engine told 3.4L or 3.8L. automatic I resume.
VIN derivative (1) for 3100 LG8 and 3400 LA1
Learn first that injectors are disabled if the pCM sees gross errors with spark, dead cmp , dead ckp or spark feed back dead.
to see that on a scan tool (real)
we use charged battery first.
then scan tool connected we crank for 10 full seconds , no longer.
release the key , not tuned off and see all DTC P03xx not just one.
see them all, and they all matter.
Lacking those events test all spark plugs for spark not just 1.
and test fuel pressure CRANKED a dead engine.
spec is, 3.4L (52-59?psi)

I have replaced the spark plugs, wires, rotor button, distributor cap and ignition coil car ran fine for 2 days now it will not start it turns over but doesn't start. 97 honda crv 250,000 miles

2 reasons a car won't start fuel and spark. Check the gapping check your battery alternator and fuel pump. To check the file pump have some one crank it to start it while you have the fuel flap open you should hear the pump if you don't it's the fuel pump if you hear it working check your work .

2003 crv will start but stalls. replaced fuel pump/spark plugs/ignition coils. 2 center spark plugs has a strong spark but 2 far end left and right do not have a spark. pls advice...thxs.

Do a cylinder contribution test
Do a cylinder combustion test
Do a cylinder leak down test-that is the best one to do
Do at least a compression test

Any of those may point you towards
failed valves, that no longer seal,thus
the dropped cylinders & misfire or no fire

Wires on correct coils?

Steering lock malfunction

check cranking compression also is ther gas on the spark plugs after cranking the motor say 20 seconds no gas then suck some gas into a 2 foot peice of vacuum line blow this gas into the manifold throttle(a spoonful) then crank if it starts then maybe bad fuel pump check to see if fuel is at fuel rail when the motor is cranking got gas? got spark ?are plugs blak and sooty ?(repleace) then check compression if its low by 20 to 30 pounds or has nun its jumped time at the timing belt/chain ask about that at auto zone and the ramifications

98 crv won't start

Check compression and timing belt. If belt is ok and you have compression, check to see if you have a pulse at the injectors. You use a device called a NOID light (basically a light bulb that plugs into the injector plug. Unplug the injectors one by one and plug the light in then crank the engine. Light should blink on and off if the system is working properly. If not check for a bad crank sensor, blown injector fuse and wiring harness. Hope this helps.

I have a 2003 Kia sedona ran out of igas now wont start the code I get say crank posistioning sensor will that cut or cause the fuel pump not to work cause I get no humming from it the code is p0335

No this does not affect the fuel pump. It will affect the spark though. Hit the gas tank in the center a few times. If it starts then replace the fuel pump. Unfortunetly pumps with a few yaers on them will die when ran out of gas. If it doesn't start pull one of the spark plug wires, insert a screwdriver and put it close to the engine. crank the engine and watch for a spark. if there is no spark then replace the crank shaft sensor. before you replace the fuel pump.

Have an 85 chevy 4x4. I just had the 305 engine rebuilt with a new intake and carb. It was working fine for a couple days and one morning I went to start er up and the engine just cranked and cranked,...

When you turn the key front. Listen for the fuel pump to prime. It should sound like a low humming noise that lasts about 3 seconds. If it does then check for spark by pulling one of our sparkplug wires and putting an extra spark plug in it. Place the end of the wire down somewhere safe and crank the motor. If you can't seek spark in the plug, it is most likely your coil failing. So, check fuel pump and fuel pump relays first, then spark. Good Luck.

"Cranks, but won't start". Replaced fuel pump, CKP, ICM & nothing

If the engine cranks over normally when you attempt to start you car, but the engine does not start, the problem may be NO FUEL, NO SPARK or NO COMPRESSION. The engine needs adequate fuel pressure, a properly timed spark and normal compression to start.


1) To find why the engine won't start, remove the air inlet tube from the throttle body, push the throttle open and spray a small amount of aerosol starting fluid into the engine. Crank the engine. If it has spark and compression but NO FUEL, it will start and run a few seconds before dying. If it does NOT start, it probably has NO SPARK.

2)Another method to check for spark is to pull a spark plug wire off of a spark plug (if it has plug wires, coil-on-plug ignitions do not) and place the open end of the plug wire near a metal surface on the engine. Have a helper crank the engine while you watch for a spark. DO NOT hold the wire while doing this as it can shock you. If you see a spark, the problem is not spark, but most likely NO FUEL or NO COMPRESSION. If you do not see a spark, the problem is in the IGNITION CIRCUIT.

3)Proper fuel pressure is critical for fuel injected engines to start and run. You should hear the fuel pump inside the fuel tank buzz for a couple of seconds when the ignition is turned on (no buzz means the pump is not running and the engine is not getting fuel). You can smell the tailpipe for gasoline vapors after cranking the engine. If you smell gas, the problem is likely not fuel but NO SPARK. You can also remove the plastic cap and press the schraeder valve test fitting on the fuel rail to see if there is any fuel pressure to the engine (not a very accurate test because fuel pressure must be at a certain level for the engine to start, for that you need a gauge). Even so, no fuel at the fuel rail would tell you fuel is not getting to the engine..

Cranks but wont start

Engine Cranks But Will Not Start

For an engine to run, you need three things to happen inside the engine. Compression, fuel and ignition, without any one of these components the engine will not run.
Basic Checks:

A. Test Fuses. Test both under hood power distribution center and the fuse panel under dash. This is done with a test light tool. The test light should illuminate on both sides of the fuse, if not the fuse has failed and needs to be replaced.
B. Testing Fuel Pressure Test for proper fuel pressure with a test gauge on the fuel rail, most throttle body injection cars (TBI) are between 13 psi and 17 psi. and most (DPI) direct port inject systems are between 40 psi and 55 psi. If no or little fuel pressure is observed and there is 12 volt power present the fuel pump, the fuel pump needs replacing.
C. Checking Timing Belt Test for compression by removing a spark plug and insert a compression gauge. Crank the engine over about 5 seconds the gauge should read between 125 psi and 165 psi, if no compression is observed remove front engine cover to inspect timing belt or chain. Crank engine to observe cam rotation, if the cam does not rotate the timing belt or chain has failed. (note: if the timing belt drives the water pump it is best to replace the water pump at this time)
D. Test for Injector Pulse Remove injector connector to insert injector test light (node) or volt meter. Observe light flash or gauge pulse while cranking. If light/voltmeter doesn't respond, an ignition distributor/crank angle sensor (CKS) or an ignition module is most likely your problem.
E. Test for Ignition Spark Remove spark plug wire, insert an extra spark plug into end of wire, rest spark plug next to a ground source then crank engine. You should observe a blue spark between the spark plug gap and ground source. If no spark is observed, an ignition coil, ignition rotor or spark plug wires might have failed. (always keep hands away from engine when cranking)
